Jack Rogers Women's Sallie Rain Boots - Waterproof for Rainy Days

I love the look of these boots! They are so sleek and stylish unlike normal rainboots. Living in Florida, I wanted something that I could wear with shorts or dresses. With that being said, these do run a little big in my opinion. I read all the reviews before I bought them and a lot of them said that they needed to add inserts. Do it! I wouldn't say I have a super narrow foot but when I put these on without my orthopedics inside, I was flopping around in them. Next thing, you do need to wear longer socks with them. The inside, I am assuming where the stitches are, rubs your ankle, so wear long socks. And as far as being waterproof they work great! Was able to slosh through puddles all day long. Bottom line- these are super cute & will keep you dry :)I had been looking for a hunter green rain boot of this height ever since I saw a pair of green Hunter's chelsea rain boot on Urban Outfitters a long time ago. I was excited to try these because (obviously they're really cute) but the color is close and I love Jack Rogers.So I typically size up with Jack Rogers but it feels like they might have made these boots a little roomier with socks in mind. Anyway, after reading another review that complained about the lack of support/structure, I had already planned on tossing a $10 orthotic in the shoe. When I tried on the shoes with the orthotic, I was glad that they were a little roomier. They fit absolutely perfect with the combination of wool socks and the heel/arch support insert--but they don't feel too big with plain socks either.So far they've withstood the snow/sleet of New England but I'll update if they seem to deteriorate too quickly.**Pic included for color comparison**I am mixed about these rain boots. I wanted a pair that I could easily wear around campus all day without the feeling of bulky, traditional rain boots. These accomplish that goal and they're quite stylish. However, there are two issues. The one issue is that they're completely flat without any kind of inside support. I went ahead and ordered a pair of inserts that fixed this problem...not a big deal. The other issue is that it rubs around the ankle and this is a problem for me. If I don't wear tall socks with some thickness, I'll have red marks and irritation around that area. This is fine during the fall/winter time, but I was really hoping to wear these during the spring and summer. So it's up to you on whether that matters or not. For me, I'm in the South and wearing thick socks all the time is not an option.*You'll see in the picture that I do not have tall socks on - just in the course of putting them on to take the picture, my ankles were already getting irritated. :(These are great rain boots. I wanted an alternative to the common tall rain boots since they take up a lot of closet space and I can't always wear them out with every clothing I own. The only downside to these boots are that it runs narrow. I have pretty small and narrow feet and I still can't wear these all day without my feet starting to hurt. As long as you don't wear them all day long, these are great for the price!I would size up on these if you plan on putting insoles in them. I’m usually a 7.5 and I got an 8 and it fit perfect once the insoles were put in. Also, they are incredibly comfortable. I used these for a trip to Ireland/Scotland and it was great not getting wet feet and still looking cute. I didn’t get any blisters while wearing them and wore them all day long for lots of walking-intense days.I bought these boots for a trip to London in March. They are very cute, so I wore them to work to make sure they would be comfortable to keep on all day and walk around in. They were! I wear a size 10 and found them to be a great fit!Perfect fit! They do rub a little on the back of my leg ankle but not when I wear long pants. Definitely water proof and I received 3 compliments the first time I wore them. I’m shocked I found these on amazon because I was going to spend twice as much at Nordstrom.I read the reviews before buying and I am usually an 8 1/2 in shoes so I bought an 8 because I read that they come bigger and it was a perfect fit! They look super cute I have thin and usually have a hard time with the way boots look on me but these were perfect. I got a lot of compliments and I wish they had the yellow ones in stock in my size so I could buy them too!Very stylish and comfortable enough however the rubber loop at the back broke on both pair within 6 months. The loops are the only EASY way getting in and out of these rubber shoes. Without the loops they are difficult to put on and off.I would suggest to use a grey colour elastic instead of pink. It is getting dirty and grey anyway.
