text: Needed some waterproof boots for volunteering doing animal care. Definitely keep my feet protected from gross stuff, but they don't have any slip resistance, so I don't know if they make a good rain boot. I have thick calves and had trouble finding waterproof boots that fit, but these are fine.<br /><br />The only issue is they run a little small and they don't have half sizes. I wear a women's 9 1/2, the first pair I bought were 9s and they were too small and ended up tearing after half a year from the pressure on the seams from being too small. Then I bought a size 10 and its too big and makes me feel a little unsafe.
