I bought these boots for my upcoming trip to Europe and need something that is waterproof as well as comfortable for walking all day.  I originally bought a pair of Keens and they are so uncomfortable I had to look for something else. Well I'm glad I chose these!  They are short boots and super cute.  I am small framed and have very thin ankles and calves and these are snug on me.  However I wear skinny jeans and they fit inside just fine.  I normally wear a 6/12 and ordered these in a 7 just for extra room.  The size is great.  I have problems with shoes fitting too tightly around my big toes and these are not a problem at all.  They are so comfortable.  I got these in "brownie" and to be honest, I feel like a brownie in my cute little boots!  So happy with this purchase!
