Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These rain boots are shin height (not calf height) Also, the material they are made of is opaque. Colors are not as vivid as pictured. That being said I do like the opaqueness- the colors are more "milky" than a true black/red/green. As for size, I wear an 8 1/2 and ordered a 9. They are perfect. My feet are not narrow or wide, just ordered 1/2 up based on the previous reviews. The height is fine- plenty of space to tuck my jeans in! I do not plan on gardening in these (or at all for that matter) these are only for show on a rainy day out! So gardeners and other outdoorsy types may want to consider the height for keeping out dirt! On the other hand these are much more flexible than my calf height boots by another company. Added plus: There is a small black "nub" on each back that allow you ease of removal with your opposite foot! Bonus!
