I actually got these rain boots as a gift from my boss. She got them from a friend of hers who bought them without trying them on (really??) and gave them to her, but my boss has wide calves so they didn't fit her either. I didn't know they were authentic Burberry and was just happy to get cute rain boots. I kind of have a thing. When I found out they were authentic Burberry rain boots I nearly died. I'm kind of scared to wear them though. It's hard to wear something that is so valuable in the slush and rain and mud... Regardless, they are pretty, and well made. The Sole is durable and well made as well. Excellent make. You can wear them as winter boots too according to the website, and I have once, but I recommend THICK socks or a removable felt insole.
