These are sturdy, comfortable, and may be a bit unusual for people over fifty, but I LOVE them. My feet don't slip in the perpetual rain, and they are light enough not to be a burden. And there are zippers as well, if you prefer an easier way of getting in and out of them.  Because they are snug and rounded toe,  they don't look as clunky as they might in the picture. I don't know if they are high fashion or low fashion or no fashion at all but they are perfect for me, and they are good in all kinds of weather.
