Customer Reviews Madewell The Chelsea Rain Boots

I'm trying to replace my tall Hunter boots with something easier to pull on and off. Sadly these are not it. They look good, and less clunky than many rain boots. However, there is no cushioning at the ball of the foot. Like none. As someone with EDS who subluxes toes easily, I could feel immediately the pressure that the shape and lack of padding were putting on that specific spot. They're going right back. Also, they did have some blooming which is caused by rubber going to/from extreme temperatures quickly. It wipes off with a warm barely damp cloth. The shoes were shipped in a replacement box (and had some light scuffing likely from the packaging being too small).

They’re so so cute but the sizing is just all wrong. If these would’ve had the proper sizing I probably would’ve bought a back up second pair. Super cute but the gap around the ankle is way too big and even if you size down like people say they still just aren’t right. I chose to return them.

I wear a 7 1/2 and that size doesn't exist in this shoe so I bought an 8. It's way too big. I tried wearing thick socks, but it didn't help. I would be helpful to have the half size that I need.

I was excited about this item but it came with weird scuffs on the top of it. Sadly, I’m going to return them because of the weird marks. I do not think you should receive shoes scuffed and marked already when they are supposed to be brand new.

Shoes we’re definitely big and heavy. Had to return.

These are very narrow, but what’s worse, they are very slippery. I slipped on my dry kitchen floor when trying them on. Can’t imagine what they would be like on a wet surface.

The size and fit were okay but this looks like the same pair of boots someone else had an issue with. Part of the protective coating had come off and made the boots look old and worn. I returned them.

I usually wear a 7.5, ordered a 7 in these and they were still a bit big, although fine with thick socks. I actually really enjoyed these boots for the 1 week I had them until I noticed a hole forming on the side where the glue was coming undone! Other than that, the boots were comfortable and cute. I'm going to re-order and hope this pair was a fluke.

The boots are great however they came with scuffs, the finish is removed all over the top of both boots. I will try to exchange and hope to get a better pair but have seen this mentioned in other reviews.

The rubber is discolored and very dry looking on one of the two boots. Have not worn them and will be returning them for another set. It does not come off with water.

The one boot looks like someone painted on it with silver paint...

There is a problem with the pair I received. The black is scraped off the top / is grey...

Wanted to love these. Wanted to wear these. I live in Seattle and need a good rain boot! These are a classic style and fit- they should be perfect. But they arrived with one boot that has discoloration all over the top. Other than that they’re are indeed perfect. But no one wants this. Pretty bummed to be honest.

I was shipped a scuffed pair that had clearly been worn.
