I live in a very rainy country... at least 9 months are wet. I ordered these because I own two other Vivo shoes and love them. The boots looked awesome... but I wasn't able to try them because they were sent four sizes too big. I ordered a 36 and got a 40. Don't know what happened... :(

I had been looking forever for a flexible rain boot without a heel (zero-drop) and with plenty of toe room to let the piggies wiggle.

I've worn them downtown, on trail walks, and to the playground and they've felt good on cement/gravel/dirt/gravel. Initially I worried they wouldn't be great on pavement, but tread/lug height is pretty near perfect, not too high or low.

I haven't tested them wading in the creek or in very deep puddles, but that's kinda outside the bounds of their original purpose it seems. But I looked at all of the seams and will probably give it a go, as they seem well made with no gaps.

I wish they made them in kids' sizes as well (hint, hint!) it's not easy to find flexible kids' rainboots without heels.

In short, if you're lucky enough to find a pair of these in your size, snap them up, you won't be disappointed!
