Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I listed these with one star because smart shoppers check the one star reviews first as it is obvious that Amazon reviews are compromised. So far these boots seem to be excellent, especially for the price. I am reviewing the CLC boots here. I only mention this because it seems some people have received other brands when ordering. I know there are some complaints about smell and the fact that the boots do not stand up too well, the tops tend to flop over a bit. Let me address these complaints. As far as smell who gives a crud, you cant smell them when you are wearing them so unless you are three feet tall it's irrelevant. The reason the boots do not stand up on there own very well is they are made of a much more flexible rubber which leads me to believe they will not rip or tear as easily as MOST of these less expensive rubber rain boots tend to do. I have owned several pair and they never last more than a year before they get a rip making the boots useless in the rain. Overall they seem to be comfortable, and I have wide feet. I will keep this review updated, good or bad, but so far so good. Hope this helps. **UPDATE: Had to return these boots after less than one month of light usage. The left boot ripped in the back. Received a new pair and the same thing happened, again in less than a month. I cannot recommend these boots, buyer beware. I guess they actually do deserve the one star I gave them in the first place. Hope this reviews helps you avoid the headache I had to deal with.
