Sam Edelman Women's Tinsley Rain Boot

Comment

After wearing these once, the elastic side separated from the boot. I have thin ankles and didnt have any trouble getting them on with the use of the back loop, so I wasnt trying to jam anything in there. However, upon putting them on for the second time I noticed that the elastic had ripped. Very disappointing. Im hoping Amazon or the manufacturer will offer a refund or replacement. These are too expensive to break on the first wear. **Update: Amazon Customer Service promptly responded to my complaint and issued a replacement order without hesitation. They should arrive in 2 days. They also said there is no need to return the original, ripped pair. I am very satisfied with this level of customer service.

I really liked these when I first got them and through the first couple wears. Theyre sleek and stylish, and started off as very waterproof. But here are a few problems: - Spring a leak. After a couple wears, I noticed that my right toe area was feeling a little damp. Im not going around stomping in puddles, and even if I were, shouldnt these be waterproof? But now Im reluctant to wear these again, because the last time I wore them I noticed dampness for the other foot as well. - No support. Theyre quite flexible which is great, but walking around for a long time start to take a toll on your feet (and knees). Its like wearing flats, there is just a flimsy barrier between you and the pavement. I tried putting an insert in, but it just squishes your toes. - Large pull tab in the back gets in the way. The ankle area is quite narrow, so if you stuff in your pants it cinches around your ankle. If you try putting your pants (if you have a larger cuff) over the top, the pull tab gets in the way and pushes out the fabric a bit awkwardly. Against bare skin, the pull tab can rub against and irritate your skin.

Ok so I bought these for England in size 10 M (I didnt know the difference between M and Bm) and I thought they would be perfect. I put them on and immediately they started to rub my left pinkie toe a lot and the right pinkie a little. Ive been trying to break them in by wearing 2 pairs of socks, which make them comfy. They have been stretching slowly but I dont have much time left. I tried "freezing" hack but I would have to do it again. Im just going to take them to the shoes repair to stretch them. There isnt a lot of arch support and I fear that if I buy insoles, they will squeeze my feet even more. You cant wear them without socks or else your sweating feet will cause the insole to slide out when you take them off. The elastic isnt water proof so dont go jumping to deep in puddles. I have to wear longer/higher socks because the opening kinda is rough and scratchy. I had dogs scratch into them and the scratches pretty much wipe off. If you fear your toes will be smooshed wear thick socks or size up. They are pretty nice shoes and very popular. I am 5"9 and rolled up jeans look fine with these. They are kinda of hot with two socks in florida spring time. UPDATE: After two weeks of wearing them straight in England, I can finally give an honest review. Before I said that I would have to wear two pairs of socks. So I bought some ankle black socks and some thin hosiery socks and I wear them. It is so comfortable. Everyday we walked 3-6 mile and my feet felt great. Body hurt. But feet were fine. But I did put in some cheap gel insoles I bought from Walmart for $5. If I wear one pair of socks I still feel my toe rubbing. So two is fine.

On other sites it suggests for half sizers sizing up if you have a wide foot or sizing down if you have a normal-narrow foot. Id definitely agree. Im a solid 7.5 with normal to ever so slightly narrow width. Depending on the shoe I can size up or down (more often up to 8) so I got the 7 and 8. The 7s were on the snug side (with standard sock) but not uncomfortably so. The 8s were loose enough that trying to walk in them my heel kept slipping up and/or my toe slipped forward,which made them feel clunky. Given the rubber material, I decided to go on the snug side to avoid rubbing. Ive now walked done a fair bit of walking in them in the rain and they worked great and were quite comfortable.

UPDATE: These started falling apart after 2 weeks. I wore them about 8x and now the blue, rubber part is breaking away from the stretchy black part. So disappointing. ORIGINAL: I love these. They are waterproof but are also chic enough to wear during work (I work at a law firm). I normally wear a size 7.5 so I bought an 8. Its roomy but Ill be able to wear thick socks when its colder. Im also used to rain boots being a bit too large. I have been able to ride my bike in the rain without any issues. They slip on and off very easily.
