I live in the Pacific Northwest rain country, got these for running out to the garden, taking the dog on short walks, etc.  My only complaint is that they are hard to slip on and off because of the material they're made out of, especially with socks.  Solution: I put an insole from an old pair of shoes inside these, now they're fine, I use them a lot.  They have a little arch support, not a lot.  They keep the wet out, which is the main thing for me.
