Review on ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Waterproof Transparent Extra Large VXAR Rain Boot ShoeCover by Nathan Ortiz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Functional, Size XXXL Fits US size 9.5 Men's Oxford Shoes, Limited Wear

As I appreciate detailed comments from other Revain customers, I will do my best to include my detailed comments below to deliver. Size XXXL (3XL) fits well over my US size 9.5 oxford style work shoes. My work shoes (not shoe covers) have a 3 cm hard rubber sole under the heel, the 3XL shoe covers fit my shoes well with a sole/tread length of 30.2 cm, a sole/tread width (at the widest point) of 11.4 cm, the height of the boot below the laces is 6.2 cm and the height of the boot at the top is 6.2 cm. Laces 11.5cm. XXXXL (4XL), which I also tried, turned out to be too big, especially in length, and I think wearing them will be problematic. If anyone wants to wear these work boots or hiking boots (although I wouldn't wear them for hiking) I think you definitely need a size up. Functionality - They cover the shoes well and the part that goes to the ankle to prevent rainwater from getting on the bottom of the pants and shoes. The outsole is made from around 3mm thick rubber, while the sides and upper are thinner made from the same rubber material, which I estimate to be around 0.5-0.8mm. There are no seams that would allow puddle water to crawl even a few inches of water. There is an elastic strap at the ankle with a buckle that wraps tightly around the ankle of the overshoe around the ankle/pants. Each shoe is not too heavy. I estimate that each shoe weighs no more than a very light tennis shoe or boat shoe. They pack very well in relation to each other - two of them fold together to a thickness of only about 4cm, and in such packaging they fit perfectly in a suitcase or backpack, especially with the included waterproof storage bag. Durability - Both the outsole and rubber sides/upper of the boots are made from a reasonably durable flexible rubber material and I would expect the construction and thickness to last at least a hundred uses or more (maybe two, three or four times that many) outlast , if you are the right size, and you should also use a minimum pull when putting on and taking off the shoe covers (and you use shoe covers on treads, which I describe below). I bought these to wear over dress shoes and over medium to high density work shoes (men's oxford style shoes) and they protect the shoes well when it's raining outside and in puddles at least 10cm deep when walking on sidewalks. Parking lots, driveways, paved roads, gutters and similar surfaces. They are durable enough to survive if you have to walk on a light gravel surface from time to time, such as a gravel road. B. a roadside or a gravel driveway. I would not walk on gravel regularly and would NOT use them for jogging (even on sidewalks) or in other high impact situations. While they are durable for the purposes I have described, I would expect them to break or tear in less than 100 uses if used regularly on gravel or while running or in other high impact situations. Good price - for the price (less than $15) they are good quality and value. I would buy them again.
