From the ankle down, they're your average rubber rain boot. So if you've walked around in rubber boots, expect the same feeling. Well, slightly warmer due to the faux shearling lining. (Nice touch!) The fabric upper was a little cheaper than I'd expected...and had a bit more of a yellow tint to it. But it's still cute, and looks good over a pair of skinny jeans. All in all, I'd say that I'm happy with them, and they're a good value for the price!
