I'm so excited to have my first pair of tall rubber boots. I've suffered through wet outdoor activities for years because I couldn't find a pair of tall rubber boots that fit. I'm looking forward to showing off my beautiful purple boots the next time I lay tracks at my dog training group's tracking events.
I was a little concerned that the "extra wide" ankle and foot might make the boots too sloppy for the kind of walking I do when tracklaying, which is over hill and dale, through tall vegetation, water crossings, etc. but these boots are comfortable and seem to be rugged enough to handle it. They'll get a trial by fire next Spring if not still this year if the weather holds.
I did order my normal athletic shoe size, and the fit is just right.
