I work in the tool rental department of a well known home improvement store. After soaking my feet a handful of times while cleaning tools.....and also dealing with big, heavy machines, I decided it was time to get a good pair of waterproof work boots. I got these and they are WONDERFUL!!! I've had them a little under a month and haven't gone home with wet feet aftet a work day since. They are definitely waterproof. They are also soooooo comfortable. There's good ankle support. Honestly, the best part about them is that they are safety rated and with a steel toe, but not at all bulky like most steel or composite toe shoes/boots are. As a female who has worked previous jobs that require steel or composite toe, it's hard to find a good pair of shoes/boots that meet the requirements without also looking like you have clown feet. These are pretty great. Comfortable....sleek for steel toe, waterproof, annnnnnd super cute!!! I've gotten several compliments on them because of the color.
