NORTY Women's Hurricane Wellie - Solids and Prints - Glossy & Matte Waterproof Mid-Calf Rainboots

My calves have definitely given me issues in the past with taller rain boots (always a bit tight on the calf), but these were perfect because they hit about less than half way up the calf. I didn’t think it’d be flattering for someone who has larger calves but not the case! I wore athletic leggings and regular crew socks and the boots were very comfy since the boot material is softer and flexible. I wore them all day in the rain (for a craft show) and they were a dream.I usually wear an 8.5 but ordered a 9. Gave me plenty of space for thicker socks.

First and foremost, I have worn these boots twice and they keep my feet clean and dry. One time, I just wore them for a walk in the rain and the next time, I wore them when I was mucking out horse stalls. Both times, my feet stayed dry, the boots rinsed right off and look as good as new.Second, these boots are pretty comfortable. Would I want to wear them for a long walk or for running? Probably not, but I can use them when I walk my dog and client dogs. I hate having wet socks, so keeping my feet dry helps a lot on the comfort scale. So far, I haven't noticed blisters or anything, and am hoping it stays that way. They may be a little tight around the calves, but not unbearably so and I am willing to bet that the more I get out and am able to walk all summer, the better they will fit.Third, these are cute! I can often be seen walking my own dog around the neighborhood and I also have a dog walking business. I can't think of too many boots that are more appropriate for me. Seriously, these boots look like they were made for me.Fourth, the price was right, the fit was good and there is really nothing to say negative. Unless blisters start popping up or the boots fall apart in the next month, I don't see any downsides.

So glad I read the reviews before purchasing. These run about a whole size larger. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 medium and decided on an 8, which I still have plenty of room in them for socks or extra arch support. I figured if I went down another 1/2 size, they might have been too snug. I love the paw prints and they seem to be of good quality.

Edit: About a month after getting these, I noticed that my heel was wet in one of the boots. I couldn’t identify a hole or a tear or anything, but water was definitely getting in through the bottom of the boot. I returned them, but the seller only refunded 50% of what I paid. Disappointed that I have to pay for something that was defective.(Original review below:)So far, so goodUnlike many rainboots, there is no obnoxious squeaky sound when I walk in them. The grip on snow/slush seems good. They fit well; they’re on the larger size, but I wouldn’t characterize them as “larger than expected”. Extra room in the upper ankle/foot area allows for easy slip-on/slip-off, and makes it possible to wear thick socks.The only down side I’ve noticed is that the calf opening is not adjustable, and I’ve got wide calves, so I would like them to be even just a centimeter or two wider. Note to the manufacturer: adjustable is always better!

Upon reading other reviews, I decided to order my TRUE shoe size for the boots. I wear a size 10, sometimes needing a 10.5 in certain shoes. So my concern was having enough room to put insoles, wear socks, and have enough room for movement while walking. I ordered a 10 (instead of an 11 like I would for tennis shoes to give me space for those concerns) and i was SUPER impressed with my decision. The size 10 boot felt like a 10.5 from the amount of comfort I had in them. My insoles fit perfectly, i wore thin ankle socks as i always do, and i had no issue walking and having toes or heels rubbing on the ends. I wore them ALL day at a muddy rodeo. Very comfortable soles and my feet didn't ache at all. I would recommend these boots 10x over! Just remember to order your true shoe size. if you're between sizes, i would order down.

I ordered what I thought was a cobalt blue for my daughter, judging by the photograph, but it's actually a dark purple. What a surprise!!! They need to change the photograph. These boots are big so if you're a half size, like a 7.5, order down to a 7. I ordered the Monet colored boots in a size 6 for myself. I have small calves. These boots are a perfect fit for me which means that IF YOU HAVE BIG CALVES, DON'T BUY THESE BOOTS!!! They seem comfortable but I don't think you can walk long distances in these. They don't breathe and they smell like rubber. They are made in China. I'm going to use these boots in the garden. I ordered another boot, Slogger's rain boot, which have inserts to cushion the foot. I think these will be more comfortable.

This boot began to crack a month into wearing it. Stylish but not practical. Leaky and cheaply made.

Even better quality than expected beautiful so many compliments!
