I live in Phoenix, AZ.  It doesn't rain much here, but my 5 year old grandson wanted rainboots for Christmas.  When I saw these, I knew I had to buy them for him.  His nickname is Monkey, and these boots are just adorable.  He wears them everywhere.  Very sturdy, solid rubber boot.  When he outgrows them we plan to turn them into planters for flowers.  I almost want a pair for myself!
