“Honestly, I was skeptical. They are quite pricey and I needed something that could replace the rain boots I was wearing to work. Sometimes I have to deal with a lot of water at the doggy daycare I work at. Especially on water Wednesday when I bring out the pool. I also live in Washington state where it is very rainy and muddy. These shoes really are waterproof! Except if they are submerged but I can’t expect the impossible, also the exterior may soak up a bit of water but your feet will still stay dry. I throw them in the wash all the time and they do well. Some times I have to wash them twice but I have a really messy job. So that is to be expected. They are showing very little wear too. I have some albirds and they ended up with a hole and stretched in the same amount of time I had these. They basically feel like I am walking barefoot on a really low pile rug. Also, I love this color! I love pastels and my favorite color is blue, so I REALLY would love if they released more styles in this color. I would also love to see more styles! They fit too size too!”
