I've put off getting rain boots for a couple of years. I finally decided just to get a cheap pair that would do the job. I found these very uncomfortable to wear, the shoe isn't flexible and stays stiff when you walk (no bend in the front). I ended up donating these to a good will. If you're thinking of getting these because they're cheap, spend an extra $20-30 bucks to get a nicer pair that you'll keep around for a while.
