BOGS Amanda II Tall Women's Waterproof Winter Boots - Insulated Rubber Rain Boots for Snow, Hiking & Outdoor Activities

I ordered these boots right before we got horrible weather here – two hurricanes. I was so happy to have them because I could go out and walk in ankle deep water to check and see if my house had any damage. They were excellent. Not slippery nor did they leak. I also was running in them in pouring rain to unload my car preparing for hurricane number two and they were great for that as well. They gripped the pavement and the grass with no slipping. they kind of have a fabric-like lining so I did not wear socks with them. I have very wide calves and I was able to get them on no problem and they were very comfortable. I got a size 9 even though I usually wear a 8.5-9 and they fit great. I will even be able to wear sock with them in the winter if needed. Without a doubt, these were good investment for me and I know I will get years of use out of them.
