Living in an area that can have heavy rain & is overdue for flooding, it seems good to keep a pair of waterproof boots with my emergency backpack. We really haven't had enough "water" to wade through yet to know if they are really waterproof, but they look like they are. They seemed a little narrow at first because I've always been happy with "combination last" with narrower heels & these cling to my heels - then I realized that is necessary to keep them from falling off. After looking at the reviews on "Sloggers" I bought a bigger size than usual & they are roomy in the toes & comfortable. These were an  "Amazon Warehouse" pick & look perfect to me.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sloggers-5000BK10-Womens-Waterproof-Rain-Boots-Solid-Black-Size-10/dp/B003EGXREI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sloggers 5000BK10 Womens Waterproof Rain Boots, Solid Black, Size 10</a>
