Customer Reviews Chooka Top Solid Mid Rain Boot

I've had these boots for about 4 months and I only wear them when it rains (and I'm not from a state that receives a whole lot of rain). Now, both boots have cracks on the sides, that let water in. They are very cute and I love the color, so I really wish they'd lasted longer.

I originally loved these boot when I first got them. It's hard to find rain boots that fit my calves so I was very excited to get these. Unfortunately, less than two months after wearing them (not even every day, approximately 3 times a week), the rubber split right where the boot bends over your toes. On both sides none the less. I don't think I walk in an overly aggressive or stressful way to cause so much wear and tear in such a short time but this was just a not cheap investment that went awry.

I was so excited to get this boot, but after the first time wearing them the little insole had some out. I didn't really worry and just went and bought insoles. But after just 2 months of wearing the boot the were random tears in the boot around the foot area that I have no idea how they got there because I didn't do anything strenuous in them. Also, the shoe started to come off the sole and water would leak in. I thought I had found a good rain boot finally but was very disappointed.

I'm an 8.5 but I went with the 9 because half sizes aren't available. Not only were these too big, but the sole was so heavy that it felt like I was trying to step out of mud with every step. I'm returning and unhappy.

The size is a little big, but it is okay with socks. One boot felt fine, while the other one is uncomfortable. There is decent arch support. The problem is that after one wearing, the left back strap to pull the boots on, tore off the rivet. Now the boot looks ridiculous because one of the brown tabs on the boot is gone, while it is still on the other boot.

The calf opening of this boot is HUGE. Even with the buckle adjustment fully tightened, it was double the circumference of my calf at the opening. The boot itself was very large with no ability to adjust around the midfoot or ankle area. It was a sloppy fit and the boot itself was fairly heavy, so it just fell right off my foot. Very disappointed overall.

These looked really cute in the photo. I ordered a size larger as per recommendation from other viewers. Unfortunately, they are really open at the top and would leave too much space for the rain to enter from the top. Not practical at all. In a rain boot practically must supersede cuteness so I am sending them back.
