I have a little boy that loves both splashing in rain puddles and firemen. This boot combines both of his loves.<br /><br />One of my favorite things about this boot is that it cinches tight at the top. I purchased a size 13 for my 2nd child and it fits exactly as I expected a 13 to fit him. He is also very rough on shoes and these are holding up very well to all of the abuse that he puts them through. Sadly, there have not been very many &#34;muddy rain puddles&#34; for him to splash in, though like other little boys, he manages to find them. These boots are on his feet every single day.<br /><br />This is my own honest,unbiased review, even after receiving this product at a discount.
