Basically wanted something I could trudge around after a rain in my muddy garden/rock garden then hose off.  Used these first time yesterday and they were perfect!  In terms of size, I typically wear an 8 or 8 1/2  but got these in a 9.  With heavy socks they were a perfect fit, yet easy to slip off without even using hands.  They would probably be even more comfortable if my socks had extended above the boot as after a while I did note a rubbing in the back on my calf.

I would definitely wear these "out" on a rainy day, with socks under and jeans tucked in, as they are very stylish and trendy too. My only regret is that I didn't own these boots sooner.
