Chooka Women's Koi Tattoo Rainboot

I fell in love with the cute design and bought a pair of chooka rainboots on impulse for $55. For the first few weeks, they offered adequate protection, but the thin lining rubbed terribly against my ankles and made my shins sweat. They also gave me thick blisters on the souls of my feet, but at least they kept me dry. Then, several months after my purchase (and right around when it was too late to return them), my left boot filled up with water when I was out for a walk. It seems that the seal had given out. I hadn't done anything to cause it--it's obviously a manufacturing defect. I wish I'd gone with the far cheaper pair of Target boots my friend got. I'd have about $30 more in my pocket and dry feet. Live and learn.

THESE BOOTS WILL FALL APART!!!

They are cute, but don't be fooled. I bought 4 pairs of chooka rain boots and they ALL FELL APART before being worn 5 times. They will slit up the back, sides, and along the toe.

Let's be clear--the boots are gorgeous. But for $60 and the company's spiel about "utility" in the product description, I expected these boots to keep my feet, you know, dry. Not so. I wore them maybe five or six times before the left boot began leaking. Now I can't wear them at all, because water apparently gets in, but can't get out; by the end of the day, my feet are absolutely sopping wet. Chooka has not responded to repeated emails inquiring about any product replacement or refund policy.
