All these pitfalls can be overcome by investing in what is essentially a better boot. Natural rubber is not only waterproof but also supple, breathable and durable.

Not only with half sizes in length but also different ankle and calf sizes, further adjustable with side straps and gussets. Boots specifically designed for ladies or children are now widely sold. There are several quality brands available now; Le Chameau, Hunter and Aigle, each making boots to their own high specifications.
