Chooka Women's Signature Solid Dual Buckle Rain Boot

I have very muscular calves (years of ballet and genes too) so I shopped around online for a long time to find a pair of wellies that would go over my calves with space to tuck in jeans. These are perfect! They're adjustable so if you are blessed with skinny legs, they'll fit just fine too. The shoe of the boot was a little more narrow than I expected. I wear a 8.5 and I bought the boots in 9. They fit just fine but I can't imagine wearing really thick, warm socks with them. If you want to wear thick socks, go an extra size up. Of course, like all wellies they smell a little bit at first. But if you just set them next to an open window for a few days, the rubber odor goes away. I really love these boots. They're sophisticated and simple but very fun to wear! I've received a lot of compliments already. =]

I have worn these boots approximately 5 times. Overall they fit well on the foot, a bit wide on the ankle, and just right on my calf. I wore them today with the idea that they would keep my feet dry from the snow, puddles, and dirty snow left in NYC after the blizzard. I was highly disappointed that in walking a whole block my left foot felt wet. The shoes apparently have allowed water to seep in and wet my foot. I am going to write a letter of complaint to the company and hope for some kind of compensation for these obviously ill created boots.

Waterproof - maybe in dry areas but definitely not in NYC.

These rainboots are not worth a penny if you ask me. i live in san francisco and i am a walker and a bus-er and rain doesnt change that! i got these rainboots last season and it was pretty close to the end of it. So i only got to wear them about 4 times. I was super excited to wear this season, remembering that they were super comfortable from the last. Not 5 to 10 times after i wore them, tears began to form on the right and left shoe on the outer bottom part where the ankles make a crease. Then another tear begin to form on the back seam and by my big toe on the inner seam. i got these boots for 75 bucks and although they are a bit cheaper, they are awful and i do not recommend getting these boots at all! to top it off, chooka was very rude and would not help me get a refund because apparently i didnt buy them from their direct store. i dont even remember what site i bought it from but they are responsible for the shoe so therefore they should have figured something. now they are...Read more
