The shoes are generally comfortable, waterproof, and practical for wet weather and outdoor activities. Customers appreciate the easy slip-on design, sturdy construction, and good traction. However, some report issues with sizing, as the shoes tend to run large, and durability, with some pairs cracking or leaking after moderate use. A few customers also find the shoes to be heavier than expected. Overall, the shoes are a popular choice for rainy days and outdoor tasks, though customers should consider the potential sizing and quality control concerns.
Perfect shoe for the weather and the outdoor activities I bought it for.: beaver watching. The only problem is that it is just a bit too long.

The shoe is an excellent fit.... and my foot is nicely covered, protected from weather. I love the tread on the sole.... it will keep me from slipping on icy or snowy or wet slick

I will be returning these shoes. The waterproofing material began to bubble and peel on the toes of both shoes the first day I wore them on an international trip.
