George Unisex Oil & Acid Resistant Rain Boots

They are exactly what I needed to use when moving our boat dock out of the mud and water to drier land as well as tromp through the muddy path through the woods that can be quite slick. These boots grip well and are comfortable. Yes, they are a little heavy but that is because they have a very substantial sole and it's a great trade-off for boots that will not slide around when you need the traction. They are a great 'working' boot and true to size. My narrow to medium size 7 foot fits well with regular cotton socks or boot socks.

They aren't "pretty," but they look just like what they are - sturdy, thick (but not overly stiff), "workhorse" type of boots that aren't for show but to do a job. Their job is to keep your feet, ankles, and lower legs dry, and that they do. I've walked through tall wet grass on spongy wet soil, and have slogged through deep puddles in these boots, and they have kept all moisture out. It took a little while to get used to the heaviness (not THAT heavy, but not as light as shoes, of course, or thinner and lighter boots), and the height of the boots. Once I got used to them, though, and realized how well they worked, I was looking for puddles to walk through...Yes, at my age - It's still fun. I wear an 8-1/2 shoe (women's) so I got these boots in size 9 as I read that they ran small. I think an 8 would have been too small, yet these would be too large for me if I didn't wear an extra, small pair of socks (the pull-on type that comes to just below the ankle) over my regular thick socks. I like these a lot and I'm very glad I bought them.
