  • The brand advises that a white wax film may appear on the surface of the rubber boots and that it can be wiped off with a damp cloth. This "blooming" effect is not a defect. Blooming is caused when the boots are exposed to extreme temperatures or temperature swings, and the wax helps prevent the rubber from weathering.

I love these boots. They are not too heavy and clunky. They are great for Spring after the winter boots before the flip0flops. They are super comfortable.

I just gave it a four on comfort because I wore ankle socks the first day I had them and the sides kept rubbing up on them which caused them to blister a little bit. Since then i've worn cute pairs of higher socks and they've been wonderful. I love the height because it makes them less hot and exhausting when it's warm outside. I would say they run a little big for my normal shoe size but I ordered the same size that I typically order for boots and they fit fine. It's better that they're a little big than to be too snug because you will need to wear socks with them.

These boots are so stylish that I cannot believe that they are rain boots. I usually wear a size 7½M and I ordered the size 7. The fit is just loose enough for a pair of heavy socks. They are comfortable and well made. Zappos' shipping is fast and what great timing! I got these boots when it was raining!

These are comfortable and good looking. They are a "bend down and pull it on" shoe-no slipping your foot in like a tall rain boot. But I love them.

These boots are great. I love them. They are very comfy and keep the foot really dry! Don't think about the price; it's worth it.

My mother bought these boots in a size 9 for herself. On the bottom of the boot it says 9 but it also says 40/41. It was much too big for her. I'm a 41 and it fit perfectly. I decided to keep it because I liked that it was a low boot that I can wear year round. I'm happy with the purchase.

Very comfy, very cute style, but it does take effort to put on. I have Huntress wellies and can just walk right into them. With the Chelsea boots, you need both hands. Not a huge deal. They seem to have a lot of bounce in each step in comparison to my wellies, which is probably due to the different style of heel on this boot. Also, I have to make sure to wear socks that cover the back of my calf, where the top of this boot hits (or tuck in leggings, jeans, etc) to provide a barrier between the rubber boot and my skin. Made the mistake of not doing that one day and ended up with two huge horizontal red welts! Overall, though, these boots are adorable, comfortable and perfect for keeping feet dry, without sacrificing style.

I like this boot once it's on but it's a struggled getting into it and would be better with a back tab. Had to return and order next lower size because it runs large.

These rain boots appear to be very good quality but they are huge! They seem like they are a full size too big and much too wide. Possibly they design them this way so that you can wear a heavy sock with them? I can't give a good review without comparing them to a small size but them seem as though they'd be very difficult to walk in as they are quite heavy rubber.

Love these. I have owned over 100 pairs of running shoes and these are in the top 5. Very comfortable. Just waiting for new, better colors to buy another pair.

I love these shoes. I have been looking for comfortable shoes to wear at work. I am a nurse and am on my feet for 12 hour shifts, these shoes made it the whole day with no pain, the only shoes that have! I have wide feet and heel spurs, these shoes were wide enough and had plenty of room though the toes! I am a 37 year old mother of a teenage daughter. I rarely get her approval on style but when I got these in the mail she was mad! She said these are the shoes that she wanted for cross country and her dad wouldn't get them for her! So I give them 5 stars on comfort and 5 stars on style!

I have the original PureFlows and love them. Although they are not durable for high endurance sports in the toe area such as (Tough Mudder, Goruck, etc.). My originals are so torn up. Anyways, my socks slip down every single time I wear them around the house with the 2s. I never had that problem with the originals. I do not want to send them back, but I think that I am going to have to.

I love Brooks athletic shoes. They have a wide toe box while not feeling big in the heel. These are a very pretty pink. Very lightweight. Extremely comfortable right out of the box. No wearing adjustment necessary.

If you are a runner this is what you need to know. 1. low heel drop but with sufficient cushion so your feet aren't "kissing" the road. 2. if you do a lot of road running, these hold up. My second pair. Just enough to cushion the blow of the pavement. 3. wider toe box. 4. Half the tongue is attached, so it wont budge during a run. This gives an even ride for your feet, legs, and back. True to size. I am an 8.5 most of the time, and an 8.5 fit perfectly.

I was looking for a lightweight shoe I could wear for Crossfit that I could still count for short runs. I wanted a shoe with a low heel to toe ratio - this is 4 mm - that would also give me a bit of cushion for box jumps. This shoe is perfect! So comfortable - and it looks good too!. I highly recommend this shoe for Crossfitters as well as runners. I plan on trying the Saucony Kinvara as well so I can alternate between the two.

These are the most comfortable shoe I have ever had! I tried Pure Cadence and those had the cushion but the design gave me a blister on top of my big toe. I remembered how fantastic the cushioning was so that's the only reason I tried these. I had low expectations but they are fantastic! I wore them on my trip to Italy and I walked my butt off but had happy feet. I wear a 7 in regular shoes but purchased these in 7-1/2 I am thinking about getting another pair!

This shoe is comfortable right out of the box. Incredibly lightweight and you can feel the air circulating through them. If you are transitioning from regular running shoes to 0mm drop shoes/minimalist shoes, this would be a good pick. Offers more structure/support than a minimalist shoe but is a definite step away from a traditional shoe.

So glad Brooks fixed the lolling tongue problem that the original version had. The new generation of this model is more stylish and form fitting. Like most shoes from this line, the Flows felt comfortable straight out of the box... and had virtually no break in period. Great for my narrow heeled foot, but still roomy in the toe box for those of us who like to spread out! I also have a pair of PureConnect 1's, which I love (wish they were still making the smokey purple with orange soles).

I am a Brooks addict. I purchased my PureCadence first edition that year when they were quite new and fell in love with the brand. This time around I did my own research and went with both the Pure Flow and PureConnect. I can safely say that I love these shoes. I have plantars badly and have been quite happy with these so far. I love the color and look of the shoes, too. This generation is much better looking than the last.
