“I did extensive research on Amazon and beyond for Chelsea rain boots before finally choosing to order these. I chose them for the following reasons. Compared to other similar products, these:Were more heavy-dutyHad thicker soles with more traction than othersSeemed built to last (higher quality build)Were cuter in styleWere marketed to have good foot support in the insoleI was just hoping they fit correctly and were a quality worth the extra $10-$20 over similar styles on Amazon.My conclusions upon receiving them and trying them around the house:They are ADORABLE.The soles really are thicker and more heavy duty than any others. None of the others I looked at had anywhere close to the amount of sole these do.They are easy to put on and take off with the stretchy sides and ankle tab.They really do seem well made, much more so than others I looked at.Now for the reason they’re 4 stars right now for me instead of 5…The sizing and insole. The insole that was supposedly sturdy and good for arch support is super thin, not very well made, and doesn’t do a ton of good on its own. I had planned on doing this anyway most likely, but I put my custom orthotics inserts into the boot on top of the flimsy insert that came with it, and I then had the support I needed. I *highly* recommend you use your own inserts in these.Also, the sizes are listed as wides. I wear a 9, so I ordered 9. My custom insert fit perfectly into the boot, but even with the flimsy one underneath, wearing thick boot socks provides the best fit. Even with all that, they feel a little looser than I’m used to, but they stay on and fit my insert perfectly. Going down on the size at all would make my insert not fit.I’ve only walked around the house with them so far, so I’m hoping they are comfortable for walking out in town with the 2 inserts and boot socks. I will update my review after wearing them a while to help give you even better insight.These boots seem well made, have great chunky soles, and are easy to put on and off. They are absolutely adorable and will go with almost all of my clothes, if not all. If you’re wanting a classic, cute boot that is waterproof and made well, give these a try. Just know you may have to do some adjusting with the inserts and socks to get the right fit. :)”

“I really like these boots. They are about a size or a size and a half too big on me. But, it has been very rainy here, so I need them. I stuffed an extra pair of socks in the front and that seemed to help. I really like the height of them. For those of you concerned about having larger calves... that doesn‘t matter with these boots. I would recommend them, as long as you size down.”

“I typically wear a 7 and it definitely fits! But it can take a bit of tugging to get off and I don‘t want and seams to rip as I have seen on some pictures of reviews. Over all it's super stylish, very nice looking shoe! It does however have a really pungent rubber smell? I hope it goes away soon. Very glad I got them! Would 100% buy again.”
“I wore these out when lots of snow and ice were melting as well as in the rain and they do not leak! Not the most comfortable to walk long distances in, but good for slipping on in a pinch and leaving the house without having to put clunky winter boots on. And I can wear them to work!”
