I have been looking for rain boots for over a year that didn't cost over $100 and were very basic.  These had good reviews and are very basic without looking clunky.  Of course, it hasn't rained much since I bought them.  I've only worn them once and it was great to not have to worry about getting my feet wet.  It made me want to jump in puddles like a kid.  The fit is good and I have enough room to wear thick socks.  I'm normally a size 7.5 or 8 but I wanted to be sure that I had room for socks so I ordered the 8.  Glad I did.
