Chooka Women's Signature Solid Rain Boot

 (24 customer reviews)

Honestly, I really wanted to love these boots. I actually did for a short span of time. They fit well, are comfortable, look great, and I received tons of compliments the few times I was able to wear them in public. The only problem is that after only four wears they began leaking. Living in San Francisco requires a lot of walking and bus rides to get anywhere, and with the often unpredictable weather it's pretty safe to say that some sort of rain boots are necessary if one doesn't own a vehicle. That being said, I was extremely disappointed to discover the seams coming apart in numerous places on both of my boots. First, where the sole meets the boot (the worst place for a hole, I discovered when I stepped into a shallow puddle and felt water seeping through my boot and soaking my socks for an unpleasant trek home). Having just moved, I gave Chooka the benefit of the doubt and figured that something in my moving truck had pushed against them and contorted them, causing the rubber to...Read more

Soo glad I decided to order these rain boots! The yellow color is very cute (not an obnoxious yellow.. more of a mellow color, but still eye-catching) and the boots fit pretty nicely. DEFINITELY order a size up though (unless you have extremely narrow feet); I usually wear a 6.5 or 7 but after reading the reviews, I ordered an 8 and they fit my feet wonderfully well.

On a side note, I was a little bummed that the side buckles don't actually work. Much like most other rain boots, the buckles are pretty much for display only (no clasp). This isn't a problem at all for me since I have thick calves anyway, but just be forewarned! :) Overall I'm very pleased with them and would recommend them to a friend.

To begin, I ordered this boot in what was pictured on the website to be a deep purple (even though when I scrolled over the image w/ the mouse, the color "teal" came up). I thought the difference in color visual vs. text was simply a mistake, as all the other boot colors correctly corresponded. However, the boots have arrived...and they are definitely teal. It's not a bad color, and I won't return them because of the hassle, but I'm definitely a bit disappointed and annoyed by the inaccuracy.
The fit is very good (almost roomy) around my calves; I was worried about this area, as I am 5'10", of average weight, and somewhat larger-boned. Unfortunately, however, the fit is almost too snug across my instep (the top of my foot). I tried on the boots with socks of a medium thickness, and kept them on (mostly standing) for about an hour. I didn't lose circulation in my feet, and they weren't uncomfortable, so I'm currently feeling slightly reassured about that issue.
I generally...Read more
