I bought these because I can't find decent women's rain boots that I can wear with my pants tucked into the upper, so I turned to men's boots. I use these for yard work and clean ups in nearby creeks. They are wide, although I expected that as they were sized for men. I have narrow feet and doubling up on socks works. They keep my feet dry, I can get my pants in them, and they've held up. They're light weight, so easy to walk in, even when I walk for some distance in the woods (over 2 miles). No regrets and would purchase again.
