I originally gave these a poor review, until I realized how versatile they are.  They go with everything - skirts, dresses, pants, leggings.  They aren't dressy, but aren't meant to be.  The waterproof aspect is great and I literally wore these to a farm in the rain and mud in Seattle and still had dry feet.
I still think they lack cushioning, but I bought cushions separately and have been using them, which helped a great deal.  They were also soft leather from day one, contrary to my expectations.  I kept them.

Old review (2 stars):
These are great because they are waterproof.  However, the toe box has no real shape and they look pretty dumpy.  Additionally, the sole cushion is poor so they are uncomfortable.  Lastly, all of the leather reinforcing in the heel area make the back of the boot quite stiff.  I'm returning, but if I kept them I bet they would be a chore to break in.
