Joules Women's Wellibob Gloss Rain Boots - Waterproof Chelsea Ankle Rain Booties for Women - Perfect for Gardening, Walking Dogs & Outdoor Activities

I bought 2 pairs.I wear an 81/2 and ordered the size 8. They fit perfect. Really comfortable and cute. Haven't worn them alot yet. But so far their great.Nice looking boot but they run a little big.Durable, pretty, one complaint is that if I wear ankle socks the side rubs my ankle and gives me a blister. All else is well.These shoes are comfortable, I like wearing them. They are perfect for those rainy days, and since I have large calves I can really appreciate the ankle boot. I normally wear a 6 or 6 1/2 depending on the shoe maker. I ordered a size 6 and they are perfect! They fit well, with room for your toes and arches to wiggle, so you can wear thicker socks in the winter. They are built well and have lasted through a lot of wear. I love these and can recommend them to others. I plan to buy more in other colors.Love these boots comfortable, durable and stylish!I absolutely loved the idea of wellibobs. They're cute but sturdy.Sizing: I have slightly flat/wide feet so I didn't size down, They fit fine, a little extra toe room handy if I needed to wear thick socks.Comfort:Not the best arch support,but that's fine because I wasn't expecting them to be/ not a deterrent for me to wear them.HOWEVER, I only wore them for a couple hours (only walking a couple blocks), and they rubbed my ankles (especially my left ankle). It was swollen and felt raw for a couple days.I'm super sad because I was hoping these could be my go- cute, easy to slip on/off, sturdy construction. But if I can't wear them without wearing knee length socks, they're no longer stylish to wear in spring/summer.I swear I'm not some crazy fashionista (I can barely walk in heels), but it would have been nice to get work done and not be forced to dress like a man...These are super cute. My favorite part is that the entire shoe is rubber and doesn’t have cloth on the part on the sides. It does have soft fleece on the inside. My only complaint is that they aren’t the most comfortable (I stand and walk all over for 7 hours a day at work though). By the end of the day after wearing them it does feel good to take them off, but no blisters or sore spots or anything like that.I have wide calves and regular feet / ankles so find wide fit shoes a miss fit and wellingtons especially so l thought l would try this short welly style as l do a lot of dog walking.I liked the look of these boots and they have great reviews so ordered a size 5 as l am a 5.5 usually and some reviews stated these boots are roomy.Unfortunately these were too small and so as l have prime l sent them back and reordered the size 6. A seemless and great service as usual by Amazon. Thank you Amazon!The size 6 fit me perfectly, the boots have been worn daily and have coped with beach sand / pebbles and mud sometimes several times a day with no problems.The boots are a regular fit, have good support in the foot and ankle and are roomy around the leg part so l can tuck in jeans, they are ideal with tights / leggings / skinny jeans.They are extremely comfortable and very useful indeed, l should have ordered some years ago!I find the quality great and in my experience even the most expensive boots haven't lasted me over a year so for the money l think they are a great buy.Oh and the insoles did slip around initially but l simply flipped them over and the problem was solved.Update: these boots lasted just 2 months before the seam down the back heel split! They are not cheap so I was extremely disappointed as I liked them a lot but not enough to get only a few weeks wear...also the inside of the heel wore down revealing a hard piece of material that made them painful to wear and as I couldn't fix this with glue like the seam they are now unwearable.Reading other reviews many others have problems with longevity also no I would not recomend I'm afraid.I do love these short wellies, they are surprisingly comfortable and do exactly what they should which is to keep out the water. I can happily wear them for a long dog walk in the wet grass and my feet are not easily pleased. Probably more comfortable that you imagine and well they do look very stylish and cute. Also the grip is better than most on squishy mud days.Just one thing, but I won't deduct a star for it because I didn't expect to have the fluffy liners included. The liners are useless they slide down the boots, I have had two pairs now and the same thing, you will end up taking out those liners and throwing them away, I have not tried glueing them in but I didn't really feel I needed them the boots are comfy enough, especially if you wear thick socks.Update: Both these boots have now split on one side of the stretch round the ankle, lovely boots but to short a life span so I am reducing this feedback from five stars to twoSecond pair. This time only had them 6 weeks and already split at the ankle. Disappointing there is no warranty process for this in Amazon.Came promptly. Nicely packaged. Very good quality. My shoe size varies depending on its make from 7 to 8, I ordered 7 and it's a perfect fit. You do need to buy good insoles for it though, as the original ones are very "slippery". My feet kept sliding forward inside the boot, and the original insole was being pushed out from under the heel while walking . I put orthopaedic insoles in, plenty of room for them and these are now most comfy rainy boots.
