Waterproof vs. Comfort, Comfort loses...

I bought two pairs of these when we started working with our daughter early in her potty learning.  I thought they would be good to use during nap time and maybe overnights.  Our daughter is very lean and leggy and these were even too tight for her.  The elastic is very scratchy so it really irritates her legs.  She would scream and cry until I just gave up and used "pullups' style diapers for naps and overights.  I bought the gerber underwear too and she likes those just fine she calls them her "awake panties".  Using one disposable diaper a day doesn't break the bank so I would skip the waterproof training pants until they come up with a better design.

Obviously these water shoes are for the budget-minded, and that's exactly why I bought them. Price was decent, and they weren't nearly as ugly as some of the offerings on Amazon.

I spent a few days on a rocky beach in Mexico last week and put these shoes through the paces. The fit was good...maybe a 1/2 size bigger than listed, but close. They weren't nearly as comfortable as I had hoped, and I could definitely feel some rubbing on my heels and outside of my feet on first use. Getting these shoes wet made the rubbing worse and as you can see from the attached picture, after a few days I had raw spots on both heels (as well as the outside of both feet near my pinkie toes). I couldn't wear these anymore after probably a combined 8-10 hours of use over several days. The pain from the rubbing was too much.

These water shoes get 3 stars for their price, appearance, and correct fit. They lose two stars for poor construction resulting in making them unwearable after only a few days. That said, with limited use (an hour or two every once once in a while) these would probably wear just fine. I'm not trashing them for that reason, but I'll be buying a more expensive, better-built pair for the next time I need extended-wear shoes.

They're good boots, and comfortable, but while they were very waterproof for the first couple of months, they have become less and less waterproof as time goes by.  Not a real big surprise, but I was hoping the hype would turn out to be accurate.  They're still decent boots.

Really a 3.5 star report for me.

Being mid-height I feel like they are right on line with my ankle bone.  I really wish this shoe was a another inch or even two inches taller and I'd have given 4.5 stars.

I've owned a taller Rockport all weather/winter boot in the past that was definitely a 5-star boot.

A thick pair of socks should give my rounded-ankle-bone a more comfortable feeling in this shoe.  I will report back if anyone asks.

After one week:  new socks made them comfortable.

I am changing my initial 3.5 stars to 1 star.  After 1 day of light & drizzling rain, my toes got wet.  I was only outdoors for 2 hours.  I thought to myself 'well maybe they weren't laced up tight.  A second day of just slightly over drizzling rain my toes got wet for the second time.

For two shoes to not be waterproof I feel this particular boot is not waterproof at all.

**Updated Review after at several months**
* The shoe sole is starting to delaminate from the upper in one of the back corners.  I've probably hiked less than 50 miles on these, so this is disappointment.  For $130, I don't want to be considering my next pair of shoes yet...
* The waterproofing has been iffy. Walking through wet grass, your feet won't be soaked, but they won't be dry either.  Definitely doesn't work like the magic I had hoped that Gore-Tex would provide.
* The fit is pretty good overall, although they can seem at times a bit big (walking down long steep downhills they slip a bit) and at times a bit small (pinky toe gets a bit sore). I have laced them up nice and tight to counteract this and it seems to work, so I'm not ready to knock the shoe for this yet.
* They've been pretty good on sub-5-mile hikes on dry land.  If I'm doing 5-10+ miles, they will start to get sore and wet conditions are not ideal.

**Original Review*
Good so far, although it cakes with mud pretty easily. The mud I've been encountering here in the Bay Area has been kind of clay-ishy so it's easy to cake, but still my first impression is that this thing gets really seriously caked up with mud.

The waterproofing seems to have worked fairly well so far, although I'll be watching this very closely. (I had a pair of North Face hedgehogs w/Goretex and these weren't waterproof for even a day!)

I play disc golf with these pretty often, so I drag my toe a bit off the cement team sometimes. This tears up my regular shoes and hoped these might be tougher. Unfortunately after one game it the rubber and leather was scuffed a bit. I'll need to be careful about this as I don't want to thrash an expensive pair of shoes in my first couple months of ownership.

wow...isotoner is usually a good brand, but this pair...*sigh* one of the reviews i read before purchasing said that these gloves get warm, a little too warm. so since i was intensely shoveling snow out in the 30s last night, maybe my hands got so warm, they began to sweat profusely? i have a sneaking suspicion that this pair of gloves is not waterproof. their was light rain after the snow ( which is why i was looking for waterproof gloves; i'm tired of shoveling wet, rain infused snow, in rainy winter conditions), but i think after an hour or less, i noticed my hands were soaked. in defense of the gloves, my hands were warm ( then again the temps weren't bitter cold ), but warm or cold, i despise working in wet gloves. i think i'm going to return these & continue my search...

I like the fit. They are sturdy and comfortable. However they do not see as waterproof as advertised.

Seem well made and sturdy. Must echo the comments of others concerning comfort however - these are torture. Shame cuzz they seem like they would hold up better than any other brand I've tried. Note that I don't do much hiking in them; 99.9% of my use is in kayaking and boating.

NOT "WATERPROOF"; water resistant, yes but stand in a puddle for more than 30sec and water gets in down by the toe cap.  if you peel the laces portion back away from the tongue you can see where the waterproof membrane that makes the tongue terminates and you can see a gap and the blue toe sock/sleeve.  Overall A VERY VERY COMFORTABLE BOOT,  9/10.  If the passing shower is your environment no problem, if you live the pacific north wet such as myself, no dice.

I was looking for a pair of waterproof or water-repellent winter boots that can withstand wet snow and keep me warm. I came across these and liked what they offer. The actual boots are a little different than what I read.
First of all, they are pull on with semi-functional laces. I usually need laces on my boots to loosen up the calves, but these don't. They are more decorative than functional. Second, I was happy that the shafts fit my calves, but found that my feet swimming in the shoes. Thirdly, I was trying them on in bare feet in the house, and found them sweaty! They might be really warm when you are wearing them in the snow, but I want my feet to breath. Lastly, besides really wide in the feet part of the boots, the boots are in an awkward shape that forces your feet to go forward into the shoes. Even though my feet don't touch any of the sides, my toes were on the tip of the shoes.
I liked the design and real leather material. And they are real leather! It's a shame, and my search continues....... :(

Comfortable. Do not give much support at the sides and the sole is thin. You will get more benefit out of these once you insert your own insoles. Not waterproof. If worn in the rain your feet will get wet. Not for hiking. Very easy wear like slippers or sandals.

we had a lot of flooding recently and my feet stayed dry, waxed canvas ftw. Not the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned, I'll be buying some insoles for them.

Boots are not, in any way shape or form, waterproof.  Heavy waterproofer needed to make these comfortable in any wet conditions or else your foot will be soaked very quickly.  Waterproofer still needed.  Boot IS NOT waterproof.

On the plus side, the boot is very comfortable and great for heavy walking.  Stays fairly cool in hot conditions with breathable walls, two pairs of socks needed in winter.

Edges of sole seem to be pulling away slowly, I've had the boots for about 4 months now, have used them heavily, but I feel they are deteriorating at a fairly quick rate.  Has not become an issue yet, but a few small sections look like they may pull away from shoe and need some re-gluing.

For their price, I feel their may be better options out there.  But for my particular needs of an all-black, comfortable, all day wearing, walking boot, they served their purpose fairly well.  If they hold up another few months without the sole tearing off I would definitely purchase them again.

It's the right size, got some spider 8.1 in the same size that fit like a glove.

These don't. the material folded on one side and digs into my outer ankle.
it's insanely uncomfortable.
Also they are less waterproof than my non-waterproof boots.
The top of the boot is not the slightest bit waterproof, light rain left me with damp socks.

I'm not expecting miracles, i don't expect to wade in a river with dry feet, but i would prefer that my waterproof boots keep my feet dry in the rain. duh.

Also, when i asked a question about this, i was told immediately to return the boots and i would be refunded.
Then i was refunded with out any further input.
I only asked a question.

Now after the extreme discomfort has become apparent, i am well happy to return them, but now i'm being told i'm being charged again!

Annoying, as i have been incommunicado as a result of holiday, work and internet connection issues.

While i am sure most folks are happy with the fast turn around on the refund, i would appreciate a less hair-trigger response.

On the plus side, these were comfortable out of the box--esp with my Birkenstock insoles for extra arch support. On the down side, they really aren't waterproof at all. They were fine in drizzle. They were find in fairly deep but dry snow. But the day we got 2 inches of snow and then rain--I might as well have been barefoot for how dry my feet stayed.

I rated this product as 3 stars because it is just okay. I wanted an armband that would help keep my phone dry during a 5k run and this fit the bill for that. Others commented that it affected their LifeProof case, however, I did not find this to be an issue. For me, comfort was the big issue. There is a rubber piece with small bumps on it which holds the case in place that is not comfortable to wear. I also with there was more adjustability for securing this band around your arm. Functionally it worked great. Functionally great, but at the cost of comfortability...

I have never purchased rain boots before , but since I moved this last year to rainy Seattle area weather I figured they were a must! I was excited to get these so  I wore these the same day I got them.  Seemed very comfy at first.  The one instant thing I noticed is they are a bit heavy.  The left boot was more comfortable than the right.  There was more heel support.  It was almost like a memory foam feeling in the heel of the left, but there wasn't that in the right heel at all which was odd and disappointing.  I would suggest buying arch and comfort supports to put in these if you are going to wear them for more than a couple hours.  My heels were really sore 2 hours in.  And i honestly couldn't wait to get them off my feet by about 4 hours.

I nearly fell on my butt because I wasn't anticipating these to be so slippery on my vinyl bathroom floor so please be careful.  Outside they were great.  They didn't slip in the rain, they were very warm and kept my feet dry.  These would work great for anyone who works in the rain or wet, muddy weather.  City workers, agriculture, things of that nature.

Style wise, they are still cute.  I think they would look fashionable even with leggings,jeans etc.  I just wish they were more comfortable on their own.  With added cushion/insoles I think they can be worn all day for someone who needs to be on their feet and stay dry and comfy.

They style is a bit wide for my feet, but I like that because I can wear thicker socks when needed!

I received these boots at a discount for a fair and honest review!
