The size is way off on the boots I received. I wear size 8 shoes and ordered size 9 boot as suggested. They were extremely tight and as others have posted, they rubbed my calves with the hard rubber. I have posted a photo comparing my size 8 shoes to the size 9 boots.

Im an 8.5-9 and I got the 9. I dont have particularly wide feet or calves but I wish the shaft was just a LITTLE wider on these, starting at the ankle. Hence 4 stars instead of 5. The boots fit my feet very well although theyre easier to put on than to take off...the ankle area is so tight that it creates major suction when trying to take them off. Its so strong that the footbeds lift up and out of place. I have to push them back down into place every time. My feet always get stuck in these unless I wear long socks. The silver lining is that if youve EVER lost a boot in thick mud, that will probably never happen again in Sloggers. These boots are made for people who need to get things done. Theyre super flexible and impressively lightweight. I feel very confident wearing these through thick puddles, mud, slush, etc. Theyre like a second skin. I havent walked long distances in them so I cant attest to extended-wear comfort. I need them for springtime because my back yard has no grass and becomes a pond/mud pit. My previous pair of rain boots was about $50, but they cracked in at least 2 places on each boot before 12 months had gone by. The other thing I love about Sloggers is that the boot design/pattern is printed on fabric that seems like diving suit material. Then its coated in about 1/8" thick clear, flexible rubber material. This means that if you scuff your boots, youll still be able to see the pretty designs on it. My $50 boots had the design printed on top of the rubber, which wore off over time. If you have large calves then you may want to try their bootie instead of the boot: Sloggers 2841BK09 Womens Rain and Garden Ankle Boots with Comfort Insole, Size 9, Midsummer Black Super cute and very well made!

I wish I could give this product a better review, but I just cant. I ordered my first pair from this company in a cute blue floral pattern in a size 10. When they arrived, they were red and in a size 7.5. No paperwork was in the box. Only the boots in a plastic bag. I went back to my order to double check that I had not confused anything, and it was as I thought...I had ordered a size 10 in blue floral. So I had to repackage them and return them. Because their boots really do come in cute patterns and prints, I decided to give it one more try because these are supposed to be a gift that I think the recipient would really have liked. Shame on me for a second try...They were now showing that they were out of the style I had previously ordered so I ordered another pair in a red paisley print, again in a size 10. This time the boots that arrived were the correct style, BUT in a size 9. I give up. I would recommend that you be aware of this carelessness before you order from this company no matter how cute the boots appear.

The product does the job, they keep my feet dry. They are though, big around the calf and fit perfectly in my feet. That forced me to wear long socks after the boot top rubbed my calf raw and bleeding. Once I put on longer socks it was fine.

These rain boots have great tractions and are very high quality. Exceptionally comfortable and wonderful support for your feet. Just like the picture. I am giving them a 4 star because the seam in the front leaked water onto the fabric lining right by my toes, while I was walking in a foot of water for about 10 minutes. I am not sure if mine were defective or if they are all like this. I think for everyday rainwear they are great more comfortable and stable than even the Hunter boots. However, I was going to use them for gardening and it is hilly, muddy and quite wet in my garden that I do not think they would suit my purpose. I think urban gardening were you have bricks, grass or pavers to walk on they would be wonderful.
