First impression? These don’t scream 'rain boots'—they look like chic Chelsea boots! The burgundy color is rich, and the matte finish makes them versatile enough to pair with jeans or even work slacks.
The waterproof claim is LEGIT. I stomped through puddles during a downpour, and my socks stayed bone-dry. The rubber exterior wipes clean effortlessly—no more scrubbing muddy boots!
Comfort is a win-lose. The EVA footbed is cushy, but after 4+ hours of wear, I craved more arch support (thick insoles fixed this). The elastic goring makes slipping them on a breeze, though the heel loop on mine snapped off week two (a dab of glue fixed it).
Fit tip: Size down! I’m usually an 8.5 but got an 8—perfect with wool socks. The toe box is roomy (great for wide feet), but the tapered top keeps them snug. Traction? A+ on wet pavement and even light ice.
At $40, these are a steal for a brand-name waterproof boot. Just don’t expect snow boot warmth—they’re strictly for rain. Perfect for dog walks, commuting, or pretending you’re British in a drizzle.
