I ordered these boots to take to my sister's ranch in Colorado where my husband and I would work the stables -- feeding, watering and mucking. I purchased the boots because they were waterproof and still had a clean-line look that I could wear into town as only slippers and these boots were the footwear we were going to take -- no room in one suitcase! They did the job. They kept my feet dry and warm in deep snow, deep, water-logged horse poop and rinsing off such matter before heading to town. The support was excellent, also. I highly recommend them.
