I love these boots, but I almost sent them back upon first trying them on. I'm so glad I decided to keep them though. I love them and wear them all the time.

Why I nearly sent them back: 1. They are not knee high. I am 5'2" and they come to the middle of my shin. 2. The reviews led me to believe the heel would be higher than it looked. It isn't. 3. They were extremely hard to get on the first time.

What made me keep them? Well to be honest it was b/c they are cute and waterproof that I gave them a 2nd chance. The style I decided made up for the height and I like to wear them w/ tall thick socks sticking out. The heel, while not as tall as I wanted is super comfortable. The whole shoes is really. I can wear them all day. Despite being so hard to get on the first time and feeling really tight they seemed to stretch out and shape to my foot really quickly. By the first time I wore them out of the house they fit great. They must have just been stiff b/c they were new.

In short, give them a chance. You may be iffy at first but they grow on you every quickly.
