Cute, but impractical - I loved the look of these shoes and completely bought into the name snow "joggers", as I go on long walk/jogs with my dog every day, and needed something suitable for the winter months. The first thing I noticed about this shoe was that on the Zappos site, the only size available was 8/8.5, which I assumed meant the shoe ran in whole sizes only. When they arrived, the actual shoe was marked 8.5, and they were definitely too big, though I kept them because I figured I would just double-sock it to make them fit better. I wore them for a snow-walk through the state park nearby soon after getting them, and was disappointed at the ankle support, which is non-existent. The top of the boot ends just below the bottom of the calf, and the velcro closure doesn't fit around tight enough. I am NOT thin by any stretch of the imagination (size 14 dress), and at their tightest, the boots are too big around the ankle. The plus side of these is that even after an hour long hike in a foot of snow, my feet were dry and warm. Since then, however, I noticed that the patent is cracked in a few places, which might let wetness in. That said, if you are wanting these for style rather than functionality, they're great. I always get stares and nice compliments (and often Napolean Dynamite references) when wearing these, and I LOVE how they look with a pair of thick leggings underneath. Next winter, I will definitely buy a more functional pair of shoes with which I can be active in the snow and cold, but I'll never get rid of these adorable shoes, all complaints aside.

Great Comfort, Fun Style, Even If They Are Sized Strangely!These are EXCELLENT snow boots that do their job well and look fabulous doing it. They kept my feet dry and warm, and the gorgeous warm coppery gold color looks great with a lot of different wintry clothes. My only complaint is the sizing - woooowww, freaky. I usually wear a 7-7.5, and thus I got a 38. Big mistake, since the front of the boots didn't just touch my toes, it squished them. Even then, the boot seemed wide. I was not to be conquered, however, so I got the 39 AND the 40 to try out. My toes were still uncomfortable in the 39s, so I went with the 40s, even though they are very wide for me… and I do mean VERY WIDE. I have a narrow foot, but I have a feeling these would be wide on gals with regular width feet. I have to wear four pairs of socks, and my heels still slip up and down when I walk! Also, I need to attach more velcro to the shaft of the boot to get it to fit my skinny legs, since I have to wrap the shaft so tightly that some of the outer velcro meets the boot at a point far past where the inner velcro ends, so they tend to pop open. Other than that, these are great, fun boots and I highly recommend them, especially if you have short, wide feet!

Look great - don't hold up - First off - I love the way these boots look. They are incredibly warm and waterproof. My complaint is that after only 1 month of wearing them the vinyl is cracking along the top of my foot. If I could figure out how to repair them I would but, since I have the bright red ones, I can't just use a vinyl repair kit. Sadly, I may have to return them...

Rubber Ducks Joggers - I LOVE these boots, however, if they were made for wide calves I would rate them 5 stars for comfort. In any case, I love them and am very happy I purchased them.

Golden - As always a quick shipment with Zappos! I love u Zappos! These boots are da bomb! The color is hot. A beaming and (very bright I might add) orangish gold. Can’t wait to wear them and living in MI, I will definitely get my money's worth. I’m usually a 7.5 but ordered the 8 and they feel a wee bit snug but nothing to complain about.

Overall:

Great in looks only - The sneakers have a sleek "plimsole" look which has become popular in the last couple of years with Hipsters. They also offer the same kind of support these plimsoles usually offer, nil. Another gripe is they run probably 1 size smaller than the sized listed on box. I live in NYC and do a lot of walking and thought that maybe with a good day’s wear they would stretch, I was wrong. I've only worn my pair twice due to this and wish I had returned them after initially trying them on.

Purple snow joggers - I have been an Ugg fan for years and these are much, much more supportive and structured - not so sloppy feeling. Living in Vermont we are in boots half the year, so always looking for a cool looking boot. I don't know if they are warm and dry yet, as it is only July, but I love the way they look!

Fun shoe, but too stylish for American market?For those of you who have done any traveling in Europe recently, you'll notice a must-have in any fashionable man's wardrobe is a pair of light, basic sneakers known as “plimsolls�. Some American designers are starting to notice them and so here you have the Rubber Duck “Tennis�. It's a basic plimsoll in lightweight canvas in a selection of fun colors and patterns. They are very light and supple, almost slipper-like, so don't plan on walking miles in these. The removable insole is a nice surprise though. Only average in terms of quality of construction and comfort. I hope this style catches on, but I'm afraid they look too much like women's Keds and I think the average American male is just too insecure to be seen in what may be perceived as “girl shoes�. I think you'll see these on the feet of fashionistas on both coasts. Good luck to Rubber Duck though, and keep pushing the style envelope!

I LOVE MY SNOWJOGGERS. I live in SUNNY California and ALWAYS sport them. I love all of my many snow joggers in almost every color! They're very comfortable. These boots are super cute, fun, fashion forward, and unique. They're not for everyone. They're perfect for that fashion forward guy or gal who loves to stand out in a crowd and turn heads. They take your outfit to a whole other level! Mine run about a half to a whole size smaller, depending on what shoe you're comparing it to.

Great Snow Boots - If you live in crazy cold weather like I do (I live in Chicago), these are perfect. I was searching everywhere to find durable, comfortable, waterproof, warm, and mostly fashionable snow boots - these fit all of these descriptions. Totally worth the extra money and Zappos only took 12 hours to ship them to me. Overall fabulous experience. The shoes provide great traction and have soft, cozy, warm, and fuzzy insulation to keep feet dry and warm. Get them!

Comfy & Warm!It's true that they run small. I wear an 8 to an 8.5 and I bought a 9 and they fit perfectly. They are cute, warm and comfortable, an alternative to my Uggs (finally!). I live in MN and its cold, but these keep my feet warm. Although the quality isn't that great--the logo and the stitching are crooked!

They are cheap looking, but comfortable and the bottoms are sturdy. They got wet pretty fast in our last snow; only a small part of the siding is water resistant.

Rubber Duck Snow Joggers - After trying at least 6 brick-and-mortar stores trying and failing to find size 6 boots that would keep me dry and warm, I tried Zappos for the first time. These boots fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Several coworkers have said they liked the shiny patent leather look, too.

Cute.Really cute boots; they look even better in person. I'm wearing them right now and I can tell they are going to be excellent for the snow... warm and water-resistant with warm lining inside.
