I have owned these boots for several weeks now and  live in rainy olympia, Wa.  They have become my go-to boots. They are comfy, cute and I have not had any problem with them leaking water.  They are true to size and fit snuggly when brand new- which is good, because if you have ever had a pain of Ugg boot or Bearpaw, you would know that sherpa flattens out, thus creating more foot room.  I like them because they are also a little more "dressy" than Ugg boots, but can also be owrn casually.  I have the black, and would consider buying the brown too.
