...but with these Boots you could! I purchased these for the snow and rain. I still shovel snow and,at times,go out in the rain. I should have bought these in the beginning of winter but you know how things go,priorities and everything. Well, I checked all the makers of "Galloshes" on Amazon and was surprised at some of the prices,ranging from 2 to 3 digits. I live in Conn. not Beverly Hills! I looked at all the different styles and the CLC brand (Custom Leather Crafts) was and I believe is Thee Best and the price is also Thee Best. The Boots arrived a few hours ago and I was very surprised at the construction as them bein VERY WELL made and they are not flimsy as some are! I put on a pair of heavy socks and went for a walk. I went on the RailRoad tracks where there are different textures,such as wood,gravel and metal. The walk went well and there was no problem.(Once again,the Rubber is a heavier grade then most).When YOU purchase these just make sure YOU click in your correct size,since these are OVER-THE-SOCK you do not have to allow for a shoe or boot to fit in. The only thing that I did no like was that they are made in China BUT that exlains the Incedible Price. Also, they are made in Injection-Mold Machines which do 100% of the work. Workers only put tags on them and ship them to the warehouses. They have 3 similar machines from the place where I retired from. In MY opinion,these Boots are Very Well made should cost more and are a Definitely a 5-Star product. If thy were not I would not plan on buying another pair for My Son! PLEASE NOTE: This is my review and it is how I feel about these Boots. If an item is 4.5 Stars,I give it 5 Stars. Just because I posted a 5-Star Review means ONLY My Feeling,if You purchase these and do not agree with My Review,it will not bother Me one bit!
