I have been looking for rain boots for a while - checking out Wellies and the ones with all of the funky patterns...When I stumbled on these, I hadn't heard of them before, but I am so glad I did. They are easy on and off. They are bright and fun. They are very comfortable and warm and they have great support. They are very light weight and yet you feel like you're wearing sturdy boots - not just something rubber and waterproof. I got my regular size 6.5 and they fit just right. Even though they are lace-ups, the tongue is attached in a way that it is only separated from the rest of the boot near the top, so unless you step in a puddle that goes well above your ankles, the water won't get in. Also - they come with an extra set of laces in black with white polka dots! Fashion meets function and comfort.
