I bought Clarks Artisan women's Dara ankle leather waterproof boots last year. I love them. They're comfortable, look stylish, but when it comes to being waterproof, not so good. As I said, I got shoes last year, but I wore them only 3-4 times in wet weather. They worked as waterproof first couple of times, then my feet got all wet. It wasn't even poring rain and I've always avoided big puddles. Big disappointment. Waterproofing was very important to me.
