Just what the snow ordered
There is one problem with galoshes that just cover the shoe or are a bit higher: they may not be tall enough. If you're in snow deep enough to get in these, you probably should take another route. The top is roomy enough to tuck your suit pants in, which is a great benefit. Rubber is thick and construction seems sturdy.Several reviewers reported sizing problems, but I did not find that to be the case. I ordered their recommended size based on my shoe size and they fit exactly as expected - slightly loose, since my shoe size was near the bottom of their size range. I actually prefer that as it makes the boots easier to get on and off. Based on my experience, I suggest ordering according to their size recommendations.If I need to replace them in the future, I will buy this product again.

Just what i needed, and then some
This is a product that does everything it's supposed to do. These boots are durable, completely waterproof, and well designed (with the button closure at the top a great feature). And for anyone who may wonder, they are also comfortable even for running on paved streets. I originally bought these because i walk my dog every morning in a wooded area with a creek, where i'd occasionally miss a stepping stone and get a shoe full of water. To get there, we first must run (meaning my dog runs and i try to keep up) to the end of our street. These solid, one-piece-construction rubber boots have held up to that heavy use as well as allowing us to venture farther down the creek with impunity.Size: My shoes are a men's 11, fairly thick work shoe similar to a tennis shoe style, and this size Tingley boot (XL 11-12.5) fits these shoes snugly but adequately. With same type shoes bigger than 11, i'd say get the next boot size up.UPDATE Feb 2021: I bought these 10 years ago (Feb 2011), and they are still in perfect condition except for one very small hole in the front of one boot, probably from scraping it somewhere against a rock or hard chunk of ice. The boot still works fine, as that tiny hole still has its little flap and i haven’t gotten a wet toe from heavy rain or puddles while running with dog. I don’t do the creek anymore, as my current dog is more of a field sniffer, but recent heavy snows have been no match for these boots.In addition to updating this review, i came here to reorder these to have on hand in case the tiny hole gets any bigger. I am going to order 2 pairs to have another spare. So glad these are still available!

XL fits men's 9.5 like a glove
The Good:A. Size XL fits over my US 9.5 (Euro 44) shoes like a glove--nice and snug but not too hard to get on/off.B. The closure is secure and easy to use.C. I like the one-piece molded construction, and the sole is nice and aggressive.D. The price is right!The Bad:A. They fit so well only because I recognized THE SIZE EQUIVALENTS IN THE DESCRIPTION ARE BACKWARD. The description says "11-12.5US Mens/9.5-11US Wmn" but actually a US Men's 9.5-11 is equivalent to a US Women's 11-12.5, so it should read "9.5-11 US Mens/11-12.5 US Wmn." Knowing this, I bought the correct size and got the right fit. However, my size (Men's US9.5/10 or Euro 43) is on the bottom end of the range and they wouldn't work if they were any smaller. SO, err to the large side and they will fit OK.B. These boots are relatively soft and thin, and are solid PVC (no embedded fabric or reinforcement). That's good for easy entry/exit, but is a trade-off. Calling it a "work boot" may imply a bit more durability, and I doubt this type of boot would last long in rough use. Just my opinion, though, and they will certainly work fine for my occasional/emergency use.C. As others have mentioned, the button hole was covered with a thin membrane of PVC from the molding process and had to be cleared for the closure to work. No big deal, though, as it took only a few seconds.BOTTOM LINE: I would recommend to others as a waterproof occasional over-boot. Beware the size equivalents, and enjoy!

Great for rain saturated ground yard work!
I've been using these boots for 3 summers now and they are still very functional. The heavy rains in Florida flood most of my yard every summer ... got a record 3" of rain yesterday ... and I could not do anything in the yard without these boots. I keep an old pair of heavy duty clogs in the boots so that I can just slip the boots on and off easily. My clogs are a women's size 10 wide and fit into the XL boot nice and snug as you don't want to be slipping out of these boots while you are sinking into the rain saturated ground. There is a heavy sole on the clog and this makes it easy to use a shovel with the boots over the clogs. No issues w/ the boot tearing. I recommend wearing socks because the black rubs off on the exposed heel skin. I wear my socks over my long knit pants and have no trouble getting the boots on and off. I often sink to the ankle in these boots and my feet stay dry. The only time I get wet is when some water gets in through a slush through the top of the boot. Overall, these boots have been great and I highly recommend them for this purpose.

Dress shoe boots
I wear a size 10.5 men's shoe. I first ordered the large size because it said it fits 9.5 - 11 men's shoes. The shoes I wanted to use with these overboots was a hiking shoe with turf cleats on the sole. Well, the large didn't fit. Amazon is great about returns so no problem there. I next ordered the XL men's size which supposedly fits 11 - 12.5 size shoes. Those didn't fit either. In fact, when I put my hiking shoes against the overboots, sole to sole, the shoes were longer than the overboots.So that's why I titled my review "dress shoe boots". The sizing appears to be for dress shoes, but any shoe with a substantial sole may have a hard time getting in. I'm going to give it one more try and order the XXL. Normally I wouldn't go to this much trouble but these overboots are really nice - very supple yet they appear to be very strong. The big problem is getting the right size. And when I finally get the right size for my hiking shoes, I'm sure my dress shoes will swim in them.

Don't waste your money.
This item is a waste of money and the sizing is not accurate. I had to pay to return this item, almost as much as the item costs. I would not recommend this item to anyone.

Just Good Enough
I'm a size 10W and they just fit over my running shoes with little room to spare. I've only worn them a few times but I worry that they might not be all that durable. So far, so good.
