As other reviewers have noted, these boots are short -- they only come up about mid-calf so you couldn't use them somewhere all that wet.  I almost kept them anyway, but, even with pretty normal socks on, they were tight around the front of my foot.  I do have a bit of a bunion so maybe that was it.  Otherwise though, they fit fine so a larger size would not have helped.  I really wanted to like these boots, but they just didn't work out so I had to send them back.
