I have had these for a couple of days and was initially unsure if they would work for me. I have wide feet and the first time I put them on it was a struggle for real. That being said, I was aware via the reviews. The 2nd time I put them on a bit easier, and the 3rd started to ease up. Also my right boot was a tad tight but righty is bigger then lefty. Boots are starting to stretch and get more comfortable. Best of all is I can verify they are absolutely waterproof. My dog and I go to a field that is currently a bit overgrown and living in Oregon it seems like it's always wet. My feet are finally staying dry and I'm really happy about that. Overall, I would recommend but be patient and have a shoehorn at the ready for your initial voyage. Once they completely break in I am positive I'm going to love these boots.
