I have to go out every morning and feed the fish in the pond and to visit my mom, so I needed something to wear to keep my feet dry from the dew in the grass. This was the perfect pair of shoes. They may look heavy, but they are not at all. The colors they come in are very pretty. They do tend to run a little small, so I went to the next size up, sense they do not come in 1/2 sizes. I love them, they are stylish and now I wonder how I ever got along without them. I have ordered my mother who is 87 a pair and my 68 old sister a pair.. all different colors of course. If you are looking for a good wet boot that does not come up to the knee and can stick your pant legs down into. Look no more.. Better yet... They were Made in the U.S.A.
