This waterproof shoe is very well made and a good value. It is very attractive and is good for city as well as country walking. Since it hasn't rained as of yet I cannot confirm it's waterproofing quality but if it is like the other Rockport waterproof shoes that I have it should be fine. The shoe is a little stiff when taken out of the box but after a few days of use it breaks in just fine. The toe box was a little stiff at first until broken in. All in all a good multi use shoe.
