Received these about a week ago for my 8 y.o. Replacements for the Western Chiefs she had outgrown. Drawn to anything that is USA made. And local as well! She loves them, wears them daily it seems, rain or shine. They didn't stink like some rubber boots do, she says they are comfy, and the bubble gum pink is cute- not too in-your-face bright. The rubber seems slightly softer, less plasticy than her former boots . And they seem slightly wider, which I think is nice for slipping on easily. No compSee full review
