Sloggers Women's Waterproof Rain and Garden Ankle Boots with Comfort Insole, Midsummer Black, Size 9, Style 2841BK09

I purchased these to protect my feet from getting filthy when I’m working in my vegetable garden & weeding a particularly nasty hill at the back of my yard. Last summer, while weeding that hill, dirt worked it’s way through my sneakers & socks as I was climbing on the hill. That dirt got under my toenails. It caused an infection & I lost my big toenails. I had to see a podiatrist & get put on medication. All of that happened because dirt got into my footwear. So, I searched for a solution knowing I’d have to clear that darn hill again this year. My search led me to Sloggers. I tried the slip on shoe; but, I walked right out of them. So, I tried these. OMG!!! They are the answer to my problem. My feet stay completely dry & clean when I wear my Sloggers no matter how much dirt I kneel & climb in. I’m not simply walking around in these. I’m working in them. I do wear socks when wearing these. They don’t have any arch support. But, I have worn them for a good six hours in the sun in 84 degree heat & humidity. My feet were comfortable. They were no hotter or sweatier than they would have been in sneakers. I wore them while digging with a shovel & they held up just fine. I’m not saying they’re as strong as a workboot. But, they have performed far better than I expected without splitting, cracking, or leaking. These Sloggers have exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for waterproof boots, these are perfect. If you’re looking for waterproof boots to wear while gardening, I can’t recommend these more highly.

If you, like me, want something you can actually wear out grocery shopping or running errands, (as opposed to only needing to be comfortable enough to garden in) with an affordable price, give these a try!I live in the Pacific Northwest (aka 9 months of RAIN) and in 18 years here have never owned rainboots. I've tried a few pairs recently, but just don't care for the stiff feeling and discomfort of long-term walking. While not like "stepping into heaven", for rainboots/shoes these are pretty comfortable. I am SO excited to find a waterproof shoe I can wear around the better part of a day.First impressions:* I wear a 6.5, ordered a 7 per manufacturer suggestion. They feel more than a half size bigger, but I can live with that. I may try half-sizing inserts, but these are comfy enough as is. I kind of wonder if a size 6 would work though.* Staying on great, as opposed to some reviews of the slip-on style. Some complained of kicked-up water going down inside the shoes of the shorter, slip-on style. These won't have that problem. But unlike the calf-height boots, these don't feel too stiff or awkward to walk in, They're nice and flexible even at the ankle. I just got these and immediately went outside to hang porch decorations - up and down a step ladder a hundred times. These boots didn't hinder me at all and I took no notice of what was on my feet.* Go on easily (with two hands anyway) - no tugging or effort needed. Come off VERY easily, thanks to those helpful tabs. NO hands needed for removal.* Colors are bright and beautiful. I ordered the Midsummer Blue style, mainly because I had limited options for my size. But I think they look great!I just got these and can't speak yet for durability, clean-ability, or all-day comfort, however I will update if anything comes up.

I bought these shoes primarily to use while working in the yard. I live in FL and it's warm here so I run around in flip flops most of the year. I have some rubber flip flops and also some rubber Crocs that I wear to do yardwork. However, I am sick and tired of my feet getting totally filthy and nasty, with dirt under the toes, etc. Old tennis shoes with socks would probably solve the problem but I decided I wanted something waterproof since I water my flowers with a hose. Tennis shoes aren't. After much searching online, I decided to give these shoes a try for my gardening. They are pretty good. The ONLY thing that I don't care for is that they are a bit hard to slip on. I wear a size 8 but I do have a high arch. These shoes are slip on with no zipper opening or anything like that. It turns out they are kind of hard to slip on. Actually, it's a real struggle to get them on. Once I do finally get them on, they fit just fine and are quite comfortable but getting them on my feet is a pain. I had hoped to have something that I could just keep sitting there by the back door and just sort of hop into them whenever I go outside to putz around in the yard. Not with these. I have to sit down on a chair, put a very thin pair of socks on (it helps them slide over the foot easier than just bare skin) and struggle my way into them. That's the only negative. At least my feet are staying cleaner and in better condition now though since I'm covering them up and keeping them dry. They do also serve as rain boots too. I wore them out and about the other day because it was raining and it was sort of nice not getting my feet soaked like I usually do in flip flops or sandals or even in tennis shoes. The other thing is that I think they are a bit pricey. I'm not one to spend much money on shoes so, for me, spending $35 or whatever it was on gardening shoes was a stretch. They seem to be pretty sturdy and well made. Only time will tell for sure about that though. I just got them in December.

When these arrived I was going to send them back because how was i going to get them on. My arthritic fingers couldn't grip the pull tab at the back and the hole was small. I grabbed my long shoe horn and the boots went on like a dream. Now as long as i don't take them off where there are no shoe horns to get them back on again, they work well. Wide feet?? (D width) They are comfy.

Hard to get on and off and they are really narrow, so I almost never use them. I like the pattern and style of them and the tread on them is sufficient for my gardening purposes. I prefer the ankle-less Sloggers because they are easier to get on and off, even if this style is better at keeping dirt, water, and snow out.

I have a pair of these, the shorter version. Wanted something a bit taller but not boots. These are perfect! So comfortable, and not too heavy. Love the chicken print! Sloggers are the best in the garden or the coop!

Fabulous rain boots. Well made and great soles for traction. The design repeated in the sole is a great touch. I will be buying more of these! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excelente calidad. Si tienes pie gordito, te costará trabajo ponerlos, pero vale la pena.
