UPDATE:<br /><br />As stated, I am writing to update my prior review.<br /><br />I received the replacement boots and have already worn them and found them to be comfortable.  The rain wasn't too heavy this particular morning, but I still got a feel for how the boot would handle.  It was fine.  As with the first pair, while the tab didn't come apart as with this pair, one of the boots was poorly constructed.  You can look at the front of the boot and see how misaligned the sole is from the boot itself.  It's at the front of the boot so you wouldn't notice, but, to me, that speaks to the quality and workmanship.<br /><br />Again, it's a cute boot that wasn't too expensive, purchased more for the style and design than as my go to rainboot.  I will keep them, but if I had to purchase another pair of staple rainboots, it most likely would not be this brand.<br /><br />******************************************************<br /><br />I wanted an ankle boot for the summer months as my taller boots didn't work well with dresses/skirts in the warmer weather.  I saw this particular style of the boot on another site; however, it was not available in my size.  Thankfully, as almost always, it was available on Amazon's.<br /><br />I immediately decided to purchase but was still hesitant as to which size to order.  A lot of reviewers spoke of how the boot ran quite large.  I am a true 7.5 and normally when reviewers state that a shoe runs large, I find that getting my true size is best.  Still, far too may (I would guess about 95%) said it ran large and they ordered a size down.  I thought there has to be truth to this so I went a size down and ordered a 6.<br /><br />When I tried them on with socks (as I will be wearing them with socks) one fit snug (not tight; but snug) and the other felt great.  And even though I didn't try the shoe in a 7, I think the 6 was the way to go.<br /><br />The boot feels solid and the low heel makes it wear more like a shoe than a boot.  It slips on easily and looks super cute.  I read that some said the boot fell apart quickly and the first pair I purchased (hence the title) the tongue on the back of the shoe came apart which is why I replaced them, but until I use them for at least 8 or 9 wears, I can't be sure of their durability.  But I hope they last as, previously stated, these are just meant for a few months during the summer.  They're not my go to boot which I why when it came down to purchasing a similar style by Hunter (I have their tall boots), i much preferred spending half the cost on a shoe that I hope will do the trick..  Will update in a month or so.uickly and the first pair I purchased (hence the title) the tongue on the back of the shoe came apart which is why I replaced them, but until I use them for at least 8 or 9 wears, I can't be sure of their durability.
