NORTY Women's Hurricane Wellie - 14 Solids and Prints - Glossy & Matte Waterproof Hi-Calf Rainboots

Comment

I bought three different "cute" rain boots to try: 1) Capelli New York Ladies Spring Floral Printed Rain Boots Navy Combo 7 2) Western Chief Womens Waterproof Printed Tall Rain Boot, Simple dot Navy, 7 M US 3) NORTY - Womens Hurricane Wellie Printed Floral Hi-Calf Rain Boot, Blue 40715-7B(M) US The winner for comfort and fit was the Capelli New York boot, hands down. These have a soft, supportive footbed that feels almost like memory foam. They fit true to size, snug enough to not flop around as I walked, but with space for warm socks if I needed them. They also hugged my calves closely enough that I wasnt as worried about them filling with water! The NORTY boots were a close second. These had an overall similar fit to the Capelli boots, but werent quite as squishy and comfortable in the footbed. Since they were similar prices and I liked the Capelli pattern better, I decided to keep the Capelli boots. But I could easily have gone with the NORTY boots if Id liked the pattern better, etc. The Western Chief boots were about $10 cheaper and felt it. There was almost no support in the footbed and they fit very wide around my calves. They also felt overall larger - I would probably go down at least a half-size if I were to order them again. All of these items meant they were less comfortable and tended to "flop about" as I tried to walk in them. I cant speak to any of their waterproof-ness, but they were all made of thick rubber, which I imagine will keep feet dry unless water comes in the top! Im looking forward to using my Capelli boots, as we have had an unusually rainy spring this year.

Everything was right about these boots at first. Easy to slip on, plenty of room to add thick socks. Waterproof ( until they werent)Inexpensive, especially compared to the fashion brands. However, after wearing only a few times, the back seam split all the way down less than six months after delivery. I tried taping it up, but it wouldnt hold.I only wore these to walk my dog in a park after heavy rain, so no more than a few times a month. Very disappointed and do not recommend. I will go back to a premium brand.

I got these boots in the matte black color. They’re cute! But they smell as if they’ve been soaked in chemicals for 6 years (slight exaggeration). The smell is so strong that my entire bedroom now smells like it....thankfully I didn’t dare put them in my closet. Size: I’m normally a size 7.5-8. I ordered a size 7 based upon other reviews I read prior to ordering. The size 7 is even a bit big. They should be fine with a pair of heavy socks. Don’t buy these boots if you’re sensitive to chemical odors.....you’ll probably pass out.

**update** So I’ve had them for a year and I’m taking my review down a star. They were great until they started leaking a about a month ago. However, I wore them almost everyday (rain, snow, and dry in case I stepped in something) to walk my dog. I do think they would have lasted longer if I got the short ones. The holes come on the side where they kept creasing when I walked (I have super short legs). I still recommend these as I’m about to order a new pair. **old review** I just got them but so far so good. I normally wear an 8 in boots but I got the 7 due to other reviews and they have plenty of room, even for super thick socks. I think I have pretty regular sized calves (Im 53, 115 lbs) and they are fairly snugg so I wouldnt recommend them for larger calves. Theyll mostly be used as something to take the dog out in but Im pretty pleased with the purchase

Incredible boots! Ordered a pair of the black with white dog paws for our Daughter for use this Summer. We live in a rural area where snakes crawl around and these boots are nice and thick which will prevent any unwanted bites! She usually wears a 7 and sometimes a 7 1/2 so we ordered a 7 due to other reviews. They are a little big but not horrifically. Will be perfect with socks. Very pleased with purchase. The quality of these boots are amazing considering the price! They are thick and not lightweight. The quality is more like what we would expect from $50+ boots!
