Overall, Very cute looking, very very shiny gum boots (unlike the picture which seems to show that it is slightly matted in colour), and the lovely flowers (non shiny) are attached securely on the side.

I am a usual size 8 US, Australian Size 6, and ordered a size 8 US for this boot. Unfortunately it is not true to size and is on the larger, broader side. It is pretty big both at the calves, around the ankles (great for tucking in the jeans I guess) and has at least 2.5cms extra space at the toes.

I inserted a lambs wool base insert to bulk up the boot at the base and it works better, but it is still very loose around the ankles and has generous wiggle room, and so it doesn't look too good (looks clumsy and oversized). In winter, having extra socks on will possibly work, but in the autumn when it is still quite warm and humid with heavy rainfalls, this won't work. I am quite disappointed, as I will not be returning it since postage will be too costly from Australia.

One good aspect is that it has a good secure base with deep grooves.

In comparison, it seems to be similar in size to a Ralph Lauren Size 9B Rossalyn II Charles Stuart Edward wellington boot that I bought earlier and had to give it away, and reordered anther in Size 8.

I would suggest trying on the brand in the shops first if you have the opportunity to do so. Otherwise, it will be risky and difficult, as returning the product from Australia back to the USA is too costly. The alternative - pass on the cute oversized shoes to a friend, and buy a smaller size for a nice fitting cute rain boot.
