I love these shoes.  Although I wear them only for garden work, I could wear them as a rain shoe.  They fit well and I like the tall back.  My previous garden shoes had a very low back and I would frequently step out of them.  Not a problem with these shoes.  They keep me warm and dry, even in the frequently wet and muddy gardens in my area of the world.  And, they're pretty!  What more could a gardener ask?
