I bought this item when the priced was significantly reduced.  I needed a waterproof boot for the fall and spring seasons - one that wasn't too warm.  These boots are great - NO WATER gets in, they zip up from the front - they cover your entire foot and up over your ankle.  The elastic around the ankle is NOT too tight - it's just perfect.  It keeps water and debris off the top of your foot.  A GREAT BOOT.  Easy to clean bottoms.  I would recommend them!!.
