Run wide, but great rain shoes
I got these to wear walking the dog, since our usual walk spans a field for a stretch. As a size 12, I'm used to having a hard time finding shoes that fit, so it's a bit of a surprise to discover that these are a bit too large. But I think they're the right length, so I'm keeping them. And I'm not running marathons in them or anything.A little too wide across the ball of the foot and too loose in the heel. My socks tend to get pulled down under my foot. But hey, they keep my feet dry.Can't really tighten them with the laces because of the way they're designed. The laces are more for show. When I try to tighten them, the tongue just bunches up. I can put these on and off without using the laces, which is a good thing, in that I have a high arch and can't do this with all shoes.I might try to add some heel pads, so that they don't slip around so much. But basically, I'm happy enough with these.

Good
I really love these shoes my only complaint is there isn't any arch support so I had to add that myself. Which makes it more expensive. But so far the quality is good.

the shoelaces are of poor quality, the shoes are hard on the feet, and the fit was unusual.
the shoelaces are of poor quality, the shoes are hard on the feet, and the fit was unusual. The first time I attempted to tie one of the shoelaces, it broke. So, I had to order a new set of laces before I could where the shoes. While the size is partially as expected (the length is OK, and the forward part is as expected), the heel area is much too wide and can only be worn with a very thick boot sock (which then makes the toes a bit cramped). The instep is very rigid and left the instep of my feet very red and sore. I have not worn them in any deep puddles yet, so I don't know how well the waterproof feature works.

Great shoe for gardening and wet weather walks.
I have to admit I cheated. I replaced the leather laces with an elastic variety. This allows me to slip them on without bending over, so I just go right out and start gardening immediately. They slip off as easily. I plan to use them anytime I go hiking in wet weather. My regular hiking boots are a terrible mess when I go for a walk and step through the local sticky-mud. These boots have good traction, but clean-up is a breeze by comparison. They look mostly civilized, so I'll have no concern about wearing them around town during raincoat season.

Wanted to like
I really wanted to like these. The brand is usually really good. However the shoes were too stiff and they were impossible get on even though they should have fit. I’ve ordered this brand in the same size in other shoes and those worked well.

Good Rain Shoe
I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a rain shoe (what some call a Duck Boot). This was a good price for the occasional use. They are a bit stiff in the tongue area and I never liked the kind of laces that look or are leather as they came apart too easily. I’ll be swapping those out for cloth laces. Otherwise a great shoe for those sloppy rainy days when puddles abound.
