Has anyone invested in a pair...
Thanks for calling! 🙂 They look great! I don't have anything by this company but I'm going to consider it. I've read good things about the durability.
If you don't opt for them, or even if you do, another option is the brand Aigle (French maker) with their Miss Juliette line because Aigle's Miss Juliette rubber boots are more slim fitting than most. I have two pairs of them and find them very comfortable and attractive, and of course protective. I use one pair for gardening and the other for being out and about in wet weather.

Yes, they do run big...just slightly but is good because you can wear thick socks (pisces and the loathing of frigid feet)But I adore mine...I got mine in brown so they would look more like boots and go with my purses etc. Sturdy damn things.
THANK YOU. 🙂

Thanks for showing. 🙂
That was the appeal of this line... they offer a couple of different 'slim' and 'refined' options.
I'm off to look at the Aigles ... thank you!
You're welcome. 🙂
I'm always glad to learn about slim and refined options with things like boots!
Aigle has been around since the 1800s and has a good reputation for producing high quality rubber boots, so worth a look!

Yes! 🙂 That is an elegant example of what Aigle can do. Sleek!

🙂 I'm glad that I discovered this brand. I did because I was on a mission to find quality rubber boots that were simple yet stylish and not bulky, and of course suitable for a petite frame. Why not be chic even in the most practical situations, right? 🙂

Exactly... I hate feeling like I'm wearing something clunky.

I did a lot of research and looking at various rubber boots/rain boots online and in person and to be honest, they are fancied in England as classics (Wellies or Hunter boots) for a reason. I haven't seen a pair yet that can match the superior thickness, flexibility and sturdiness of the Hunter Boots imo. They are pricey but worth it.
Worth it... and that's where I'm coming from too.
It's a jungle down here-- I want something that's going to last
and I'm willing to pay for it.
They're both fabulous.

Me too! Very uncomfortable and being petite it can make us look like we're kids wearing our parents footwear, lol.

i thought americans wore the ll bean duck boot?
Those are prevalent in New England...that's so damn funny you would say that Ands...
wheretf is new england? is that a fancy name for boston?
it's like when people were telling me about shake and bake and i find out they're just breadcrumbs!
i'm not buying a pair BTW. i think regular boots are enough for me. i haven't decided on which ones but i was thinking of going bespoke. would cost an arm and a leg though.
won't all the rubber make your feet sweaty?

Boot liners and/ or socks.
I guess we don't do socks so much in wArmer climes?
I have like two pairs of socks... for 'winter' I just get those
fuzzy little socks (that you don't wear with shoes) for when
it's too cool to run around barefoot.

Get one of each brand maybe. 🙂
Agiles are durable, but the Miss Juliette line isn't as rugged as other options offered by Aigle that are work boots and bulkier in style , or Wellies or Hunter boots, I imagine. I didn't need something super rugged, but I live in a rural area with dirt roads with lots of rocks and twigs and mud and the Aigle Miss Juliettes have protected me well from all of that, in style . 🙂

I feel you...I'm in the same state remember...perfect for rainy season and great for outdoor events that may be muddy....think "Coachella" fashion staple. But I use mine out to garden too because I don't like snakes....I bought mine when I lived in New England because they worked just as good in the snow & slush with thick socks too.

I remember.... I knew you could commiserate.

ah!
me i only wear socks if walking in the shoe would give me blisters without them but shoes last longer if you sock up anyway.
i had rubber soled loafers i used for travel and they were horrible for walking around a city. wet feet! since then i've been afraid to get anything with a rubber sole aside from sneakers.

Interesting... I look for shoes with a more idk rugged sole.
Traction -- I like having it.
Always afraid I'm going to skidding with those smooth soled
dress shoes.

This is so pretty
I love these! Do they run true to size?

That was my next question.
And how long does it take them to get here from France.
Or maybe @Copperdove lives in the French countryside. o.O
I don't live in the French countryside, damn. 🙂 But my father was born in Normandy in the countryside, on a dairy farm, lucky man. 🙂
I ordered from a Canadian company that carries many good brands of footwear. But you can order Aigle boots from US companies, maybe even from Amazon.com
I'd say that they run true to size. I take a 36 in Aigles MIss Juliettes, which is between a 6 and 6.5 in US sizing. Note that the Miss Juliette line of Aigles have a narrower calf/opening than some style s. The exact opening size I'm not sure of right now (hard to measure) but maybe it can be found online.

... of these lovelies?
The woman in this pic is 5' or 5'1... wearing the packable version.
I'm tired of tromping thru the rain in my good shoes... but these
I think I love.
I've read they run big though, and would like to know if any of you
have gotten a pair (or something you like better?) before I order.
Lookin at you @Copperdove.
If you would please. 🙂
Dig the red ones!

A good deal! Sometimes I find lower prices on them in the US and Canada via the stores that stock them, with sales and such. But for the latest style s they offer, buying them directly from the site likely is best.

The black ones on the right are the Kids version--

was doing a comparison with the regular ones.

Investigate Palladium boots. They're very light and have excellent sole grip.I wore Doc Martens for years but now prefer Palladiums for casual wear.

Thank you for all the additional info, Gobshite!
Because yeah... when you're laying down the
money for something that will last, you expect
it to do just that.
