Original Tall Rain Boot (Women)

I originally ordered the size 6. It was too large and I realized I needed the size 5. I've since ordered it four different times and each time it has come as the short version (says on the tag outside the box, price is different, I've called to complain, they've submitted tickets). The fourth time I ordered I gave it about a month to work out any system issues. Now all the size 6 is sold out but still plenty of size 5. Ordered it and the short version was again sent. Wish they'd figure this out.

I love these boots! They're adorable and they fit great. I'm usually an 8 1/2 and the 8's are roomy. However, I wore mid-weight socks with them and my husband had to help me get them off. He didn't simply slip them off because I couldn't do it myself. I had to brace myself against the doorway and he pulled as if wrenching my leg off would save my life. Soon, a vacuum formed inside the boot sucking my foot back in. In the end (several minutes later than it should have taken to get a boot off) my foot was free. But I haven't worn them since because I'm going to have to buy a product to help me remove them on my own next time.

The bootbed on these is good, and they are completely water proof. I wear wellies for dog walking and working in the garden - so I actually need them to 'do their thing' versus just look good. These are way too narrow through the calf - and no, I don't have huge muscles. It's almost impossible to wear them with jeans, for instance, which is really silly. I've had Barbour's before, and they are much better. I kept these because they were cheap, but I wouldn't buy them again. Toothpick legs only, and even then, I think it would be a squeeze.
