Tretorn Skerry Rainboots were designed for sailing, but are well suited for city adventures.

I ordered a pair of these and a pair of SLOGGERS Midsummer Tall boot, (Black flowered print) rain boots because I couldn't choose without trying them on and seeing them "in person".
I wear a size 8 shoe, have 60-year old feet who appreciate support, and most of all: comfort.
My adorable yellow Tretorns arrived first.
Easy to slip into,
incredibly cute,
plenty of calf room, and
relatively comfortable,
very roomy inside, and
the length was perfect.
I thought these would be the one.
The Sloggers also stole my heart for their fun-good looks.
Easy to slip into,
incredibly cute,
plenty of calf room, and
far more comfortable for my foot, and
the length was perfect.
What I prefer about the Sloggers is that they are designed with more of a "real" shoe style in regards to the boots' curve about the foot bed, with a small and elevated heel. Plenty of good traction grooves on the sole as well.
We live on a tree farm and just had a rain. I took them out for a walk and felt secure in my step (more than the Tretorns). Because I appreciate foot and ankle support for any kind of slippage, the Sloggers win.
The Tretorns are a classic (short) rain boot and if I were going into town on a rainy night for dinner and wanted "a look" and to keep my feet dry, these would be perfect. But so would the Sloggers. And since I really only "need" one pair of rain boots...the Tretorns are going back. =(
Thanks, as always, to Amazon.com for their fabulous Prime service, their generous return policy, and for providing a reluctant store shopper most of what she needs and wants!!

I ended up returning these because they weren't nearly as comfortable as I hoped. I have larger calves and they just fit over, but didn't move comfortably. These would be more comfortable on someone with average sized calves.

I saw my co-worker wearing the olive colored ones to work the other day and thought..."wow, wearing rain boots with pants tucked in on a day where its clearly not raining kind of looks quirky and fashionable..." I decided to purchase the black pair so that it would go with more outfits. The size is perfect, they leave enough room for socks and pants to fit inside. They hit about halfway up the leg and fit comfortably. The only problem is that they might be a little too warm...made my feet sweat. But they are great for both rainy days and for fall and winter since they are insulated. Plus, they are cheaper on Amazon than other websites where they are like $70...they are worth $50 :D
