In an effort to keep my feet dry (and tinea at bay) from daily showering of residents at work, I've gone through several iterations of gums boots this past year. Most did the job but soon cracked, split and none were comfortable to wear for 4 hours straight, just serviceable. A colleague turned up one morning with a pair of your boots and said she purchased them for a holiday in Europe because she wanted to be dry AND comfortable. That was enough to have me give them a go. They did not disappoint: my feet stay dry, the traction on wet tile floors is great and they are very comfortable ! If I can offer a suggestion for future development of your products: Availability of a wider toe box (D or E) would be great ! I had to remove the insert for my flat/wide feet to be ... MoreIn an effort to keep my feet dry (and tinea at bay) from daily showering of residents at work, I've gone through several iterations of gums boots this past year.

They arrived quickly, I was super excited to open them up and try them on! They fit absolutely perfectly (size 39 for me) and they have a removable inner sole depending on the amount of room you want in there. The neoprene (elastic bit on the sides) also continues throughout the whole inside of the boot and I was so surprised at how comfortable and warm the material is! I immediately went and stood in an ankle-deep puddle and my feet stayed bone-dry. I also have these shoes that are kind of like ugg boots with fluffy insides but they have laces and are meant to be outdoor shoes, and let me tell you, these Merry People Gumboots are the WARMEST shoes I've ever had, and that's coming from me who has a track record of numb toes and poor circulation. They are SO CUTE and ... MoreThey arrived quickly, I was super excited to open them up and try them on!

They are SO CUTE and easy to just slide on and go, I don't even have to sit down to put my shoes on anymore. The mustard colour is really bright and pretty, I've had lots of compliments about my new gumboots already. Would definitely recomment, the price might be pretty high but the great quality of the gumboots tells you why that is!

I’ve had these boots for several months now and they’re great. The chestnut and ice colourway is so chic and versatile, thank you for making this colour combo! I have wide feet so removed the insoles for a better fit, without having to size up. I can attest to the boots being 100% waterproof when walking through mud, puddles and in light/regular rainfall however unfortunately they are NOT waterproof in heavy rainfall with strong winds. Last night I wore my boots walking through the Sydney CBD in very strong winds. The exposed parts of the neoprene lining (on the sides and top part of the boots) got wet and the rain also got into the back of the boot opening. I’m not sure whether it was the rain soaking the exposed lining then spreading to the rest of the lining ... MoreI’ve had these boots for several months now and they’re great.

The exposed parts of the neoprene lining (on the sides and top part of the boots) got wet and the rain also got into the back of the boot opening. I’m not sure whether it was the rain soaking the exposed lining then spreading to the rest of the lining and/or getting in through the opening that caused the entire inside to get wet but my socks were soaked through when I got home. I used paper towels to try to absorb the water in the lining but they are still wet inside after being left overnight. I’ve now stuffed them with newspaper to hopefully speed up the drying process. I would still happily recommend these boots. However, for heavy rain and wind, I might have to try wearing them so that my pant hem covers the top of the boot (which doesn’t look as nice as I think the boots are cuter when you can see their whole profile) to stop the rain from getting in and the lining on the sides from getting wet. I’m considering getting the taller Darcy mid calf boots which might look nicer when worn this way.
