Gray pair purchased 12/2016: I purchased a gray pair for my daughter this Christmas. The description said "glossy". They arrived and one boot was a whole size bigger than the other and they were matte not glossy. I talked with customer service and they sent a new pair. I repeated over and over to make sure they are glossy. The new pair arrived and were the correct size this time but still matte NOT GLOSSY as the description says. She ended up just keeping them because returning is too much of a hassle. Please beware...gray are not glossy even though it says they are. Please see below that I purchased a pair for myself in 2015 and they were just as they said and I LOVE THEM. They are almost two years old and are still in great condition and I get tons of compliments.Red pair purchased in 2015: I have not worn these yet but I love the way they look and they DO NOT look or feel cheap. I tried on some Hunters and I actually like these better. Plus they are much cheaper than Hunters. As for the fit, I typically wear a 7 and I bought the 7's. With thin socks they fit perfect but if I want to wear a thicker sock I would probably need a 7.5. So I would say get the same size you usually wear if you want them snug and a half size up if you want some room for thicker socks. I will update this review as soon as I wear them a while. Love the red color. From the bottom of the heel to the top measures 15" and the opening is 6" across.Update. I have worn them and they are great!! Get lots of compliments.I am so disappointed that I have to write a bad review of this product. I have enjoyed the look and the fit, unfortunately, the outer layer of the boot is cracked. I can no longer confidently wear them as I did during the early part of Spring while warm weather melted the snow (flooding sidewalks) and on rainy days. The outer layer is cracking. Perhaps, I received one that was poorly made or defective. The boots do not serve their purpose if they are cracked and does not keep my feet dry.I am writing under husbands account. I bought the blue boots and I absolutely love them. I am a size 6.5-7 and I bought the 7. I am 5"4 with 13 1/2 (measured generously) calves. They fit perfectly with thicker socks. I was a little skeptical when I read the reviews about having big calves. I don't have big calves per say but they are not skinny...athletic because I do workout. We have just got huge amounts of snow and I put on my thick socks and shoveled the snow without any problem. I would suggest having thick socks in snow because they might get a little cold at first but that soon goes away. I think it might be the rubber getting cold. Anyway it is not a big deal to me. They work great and are stylish. The blue is bright but not at all too bright just a nice color that pops. Honestly, they are pretty much true to their color as advertised maybe less bright. I liked them better when they arrived. The rubber is thick and the lining inside is nice. Very well made boot. The meausrements do seem pretty accurate so I would suggest to do a measurement of your calves (I used a string and then measured it). I would recommend them and I will buy again.I've tried on many rubber boots but they always look huge!!! I wear a 8 with slender legs. These boots are soft and fit perfect. Foot is not sliding around like some brands. Height is also perfect and super cute with socks. Thanks for the boots. I got them on warehouse for 16 bucks!! Happy girl over here!!!!Ripped a hole in my $150 hunter boots so bought these as a cheap replacement. We live on a 26 acre farm with lots of woods and spend quite a bit of time outside. These have held up much better than my hunter boots did and were a small fraction of the price. The logo is pretty fugly but if you need function over fashion this is your best betThese are really great boots and very comfortable once you get the right size. I first got the purple ones which are a nice shade of purple. Since there weren't any reviews on sizing I went with other reviews which is that rain boots run big. Not the case. I'm a true 6 1/2 with really narrow feet. The 6 was a bit short, my toes were right up to the edge. I returned those and got a 7 in black. Those fit just right. I even tried them with thick wellie socks. They are more snug but I have room to comfortably walk and they keep my feet warm. But if you have wide feet or a high instep they may be too tight. Big calf girls may have a hard time with these because they may be tight. Mine are about 12 inches and I just have room on naked legs. I'm returning the black because I'm a color girl and they are boring!! Plus all the colors are back in stock!!I bought these boots for the absolute worst gardening and forest jobs on my property. So far, I have several times waded the creek in them (100% waterproof and high enough--reach my knees and I am 5'6" tall), cut a path through the bramble woods (good traction) and then rinsed the muck off theme (super easy). The price is right compared to other wellie-type boots, and these are true rubber, so they should last a lot longer than the fake rubber. In fact, when I get around to it, I will order a pair for my daughter so she can HELP me outside. . .As for size: I normally wear an 8 shoe, and normally order 8.5 boots, but in these I got the 9 and it fit perfectly with a pair of light wool socks. Comfortable, too.One note: I have very skinny calves (like, 12") and these boots fit me very well--no bagging or annoying knocking--and I was able to tuck my work pants into the top---but if you have big calves you might not like these, as the shafts are not your average wide ones. More like rubber English riding boots or something.I liked the fit of the boot. After only 2 1/2 months of wearing these boots they are cracked and leak. Both boots are cracked. The left is cracked on the seam and leak The right is cracked and leak. I couldn’t figure out why they were leaking until I took a close look at them. They are not worth the money. I should have purchased Hunter brand boots since I have to purchase another pair. I wear these every day to walk ou my back door and feed the chickens maybe 75 feet each way. Useless pair of boots.These are lovely boots - the problem is that the description doesn't make it clear that it's US sizing. I'm in the UK and ordered a size 7 and they turned up beautifully boxed, and they clearly say '7' on the sole and the inside but it's a US 7 which makes it a UK 5 and unfortunately too small. I was going to reorder in the correct size but I'm not too sure what that is really......and since it's postage to and from the states it's a bit expensive to buy some more to try on in the hope they fit. Otherwise they look a great boot in a nice orange/pumpkin colour and if they fitted I'd keep them and give them 5 stars.I absolutely love these boots for working in the garden and greenhouse. The rubber just feels well made; better than the typical matte black barn boots available in stores. I have large calves due to riding horses all my life. I have had a lot of trouble finding boots that fit, but I took a chance and am SO glad I did.These boots were definitely a great buy. Had wanted Hunter boots but refused to pay the price. These are fashionable. Love the colour and just what I needed for visiting the farm. Broke them in when in the barn seeing the new calf.These are ok. The green colour is very bright. They look cheaply made but the price is much less than Hunter boots. They are sturdy and functional. I received a size larger than I ordered but they fit so I just kept them.Boots arrived quickly, but it was obviously used before. All scuffed up. Very disappointed. Returned it the same day.
