My new favorite boots!!!!
April 12, 2017
I just received them, but I have 2 other pairs and they are awesome!! My new favorite boots. I have the black, blue and now the berry. I hope the yellow ones are available when my birthday comes around. I will buy them. Wish there were more colors.
The weird thing is that I usually wear a 61/2 to a 7/12 but these are a 6 and they fit perfectly with lots of space to move my toes. I purchased a 7 and they were too big. So I returned them and got the size 6. Hope this helps.

Cute and Super Duper Light, but Like Wearing Buckets
August 10, 2018
The good:
- These are the LIGHTEST WEIGHT RAIN BOOT YOU CAN FIND. Seriously, these things weigh nothing. I looked FOREVER (and I mean forever) for travel rain boots, and these were PERFECT. (In a backpack, every ounce counts.) Most rain boots are made of rubber or PVC, and this is made of the secret Crocs material ...whatever that is.
- They don't have unnecessary frills like buckles, polka-dots, logos, etc. I can't stand that. Instead, they have a clean, simple silhouette with nice, well-designed curves.
- They have a round, ample toe-box -- which I find more aesthetic than the basic (yawn) toe-cut, and it is healthier for your foot.
- The material is somewhat cushy under your foot. Similar to a very firm foam?
The bad:
- There is no lining and no in-sole. It is all made out of the same material. With no interfacing, (combined with the fact that the boot is not super flexible,) I can imagine it causes rubbing over time. It wouldn't provide any warmth in cooler weather, either.
- It was like wearing two OVERSIZED BUCKETS!! I ordered a half size up thinking I could add an insole (and as I am a half size, and they did not come in my size), and the boots SWALLOWED ME. The shaft / foot opening circumference is 13" -- which might be fine if you have very large calves. If you have medium to skinny legs, however, the opening is huuuuge, and it would collect rain. It looked like I was wearing two giant black marshmallows stuck on two toothpicks. It wasn't comfy. Nor cute. And it wouldn't keep rain out.
Sadly, I had to return them.
Note: CROCS, IF YOU'RE LISTENING -- can you make these with a smaller circumference and / or with an adjustable foot opening? Not everyone has the same calf width. And no one makes rain boots as light weight as you!! I'll add my own insole, if need be.

Got these to slip on real quick to take the dog out since the ground has been so mushy. I don't even have to use my hands I can literally just step my foot in, I'm super lazy so to me that's awesome. I have large calves (16 in) so I was a little worried they'd be tight but they're short enough to not matter at all, and Id even be able to wear thick socks or even leg warmers with them. I wear a 7, sometimes 7.5 and I got a 7 and they fit perfectly. Just gotta wear tall socks cause I mean they are rubber so ankle socks get pulled down.

Love these boots! I got them to walk the dogs in the field. (We go for several walks a day)
They are a little big. I wear a 10 1/2 so I upsized to an 11. They are a little roomy but when I wear thick socks they are perfect!
I was worried I would need gel insoles as insulation in them because we walk on a very rocky path. Nope! The soles of these are thick and I can't feel the rocks.
I can easily and comfortably wear these for long walks!

Having to walk to and from my job 6 days a week in a semi-rural setting required me to invest in a pair of rain boots, esp. since it seems to rain every day of late. I am generally a size 8.5 in sneakers so ordered a size 9. Keep in mind these are Crocs so they are by nature round and wide. So are my feet. The first time I put them on I found them to be a tad too big in the heel area and flopped a bit. so I thought they might be a pain to walk in but was pleasantly surprised. After wearing them about 2x they seem to have taken on the shape of my foot and ankle. (So smart!) They got more supple with use which is really nice as when I first got them they seemed stiff.. They are absolutely lovely to walk in, there is support and a certain amount of warmth. My feet didn't get all clammy. They are super comfy and most important they get the job done. My feet are kept nice and dry ( I even stepped in a few puddles on purpose --for strictly educational purposes- lol what fun!) I wanted them in yellow but at the time of purchase they didn't have them in my size :-( so I got them in "raspberry" which doesn't look too childish (I am old), it's a rather muted shade..I recommend these definitely-and I am difficult when it comes to footwear!
These came from Germany but didn't take too long to arrive. Beware of having to return this because this seller does not provide any box, they send it directly in the box the boot comes in, the one you'd see in a store, so you'd have to find a box suitable for the boots if you wanted to send them back..

Really cute boots. I'm a 7 1/2 and the 8's fit comfy. I had ordered the 7's, but they were slightly snug across the top of the foot (towards the ankle) and the ankles were a little snug too. It felt like they would rub a bit. So the 8's felt "Ahhhh". They are a little roomier, but not too much. I really prefer thicker, higher socks with them (for a little less foot movement in the boot), though the regular crew socks I wear with them are comfortable. They're especially cute with a skirt at least few inches above the whole boot. The bows have a cute shoe-lacey look. These are comfortable all day. I saw a reviewer said they were wide, and would let too much rain in. That's possible. I haven't worn them while raining, only after. I really needed "wet" shoes. Anyway, I'll update my review later on that.

It rains a lot here in Oregon and these boots have held up great. I got these boots in a size 8 and they fit great. I have their Classic clogs in a women's 9, and their CitiLane clogs in a women's 8. I find the traction of the shoes to be excellent because I don't slip at all when I'm walking indoors on tile/wood floors after coming in from the rain. I can wear these boots for several hours because they're very comfortable and lightweight. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing any shoes at all! I enjoy the roomy fit because that means I can double-up on socks on the super cold days. The only downside about these boots are the openings because the circumference is a little big. Although it makes it super easy to slip on and off (I can put these boots on without using my hands, literally just slide my feet in and out), sometimes a little bit of rain can get in the boots but it doesn't bother me and it rarely happens, too. Overall, I would definitely recommend these boots to whoever's looking for comfortable, shorter, rain boots.
For reference, here are a few common shoes I own and the size I got them in (sizes are in US Women's):
Vans, 8.5
Converse, 8
Adidas, 8.5
Sperry's, 8.5
TOMS, 7.5 (but probably could have gone with an 8)

Haaay Y'all
I had to wait to do the review, ( we hadn't had any bad weather)
But...
This is THE BEST "walk in the slushy snow, spash in puddles, walk through the mud, walk the dog at 2 am and accidently step in the poop take it in the house and rinse if off" BOOT I have ever owned.
My feet didn't get wet, or cold. and it's comfortable to wear, I wear a size 10 (women's) so I did go up a size, so you can wear two pair of socks or even boot socks
I LOVE THIS BOOT
It gets a 5 heart review ❤ ❤ ❤❤❤
You won't be disapointed

Light, bright and very good boots.

For my birthday, my sister bought me some rain boots from Zappo's that cost well over $100. They would have been great if I'd been able to get my feet into them, but despite the fact they only came up to my ankle, the instep was too high and the rubberized tops unyielding. With her help, I exchanged them for UGGs, which were taller and had a nice, warm lining on the footbed. I managed to get them on and off but not without lying down on the floor and pulling them. Since I wanted something I could get on and off easily without writhing on the wet cement in my garage, I had to return them too. Then I took a chance on these Crocs. They are perfect: roomy enough for heavy socks but still okay without them, lightweight, and comfortable. As a bonus, I can even tuck my pants into the top of these boots. I'm not sure why there is now a "new" version of these boots, as they are perfectly fine in this version. While I was tempted by the lemon yellow, I got navy blue instead. I wear a size 9 in most shoes, and the 9 in these was neither too large nor too small. I'm looking forward to walking the dog without getting my socks wet.

Love these boots but you should definitely wear nice thick socks with these. I ordered a size 10 which is my regular size and was surprised at the roominess. I wouldn't want to go down a size as the extra room is perfect for wearing socks to keep your feet warm in winter and you can wear thinner socks in the summer which makes these very versatile. I got the yellow because why not? The shortness of the boot allows some water to splash in during heavy down pours but when walking through the gross New York puddles my feet stay clean and dry. There isn't much cushioning and support in the insole but I don't plan on doing much city walking when it pours rain anyway. Mostly these are for getting to work, changing into office shoes and then something to get home in. Overall I highly recommend.
