Sloggers Women's Waterproof Rain and Garden Boots, Midsummer Black, Size 7

Designed from the ground up to be the most comfortable, practical, and fun waterproof shoes you'll ever buy, these made-in-the-USA Sloggers have all of the practical features of a waterproof work boot with the comfort of your favorite pair of shoes. Made in the USA from 100% recyclable material, the Sloggers' heavy-duty lug sole is designed for sure-footed traction in water, mud, and muck, providing the support and traction of a good work boot. In contrast to popular "foam" shoes, which offer little support or traction, the Sloggers' soles are made from a long-lasting, durable material and include up to 50% recycled material.

The Sloggers' "All-Day-Comfort" insoles are one of the main reasons the company's shoes and boots get such great reviews. These insoles are 7mm thick at the heel and 5mm thick at the ball of the foot, formed rather than flat, and include a skived support material under the heel. The company believes that if you're going to spend your money buying their shoes, you deserve a quality insole.

Buying shoes online can be a bit of a guessing game, as different manufacturers use different lasts (the shape of the inside of the shoe) and everyone's feet are a little different. Sloggers shoes and boots run pretty true to size, but they offer some guidelines and tips to ensure a good fit. Almost all women who are in between sizes should order up and buy a "Half-Sizer-Insole," a heavy sock will add up to a half size, a wide foot may require a half size larger, and a narrow foot should not order down a half size due to the length, though a "Half-Sizer" insole added under the existing insole will snug the fit up a bit.

In addition to utilizing Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP's) regarding the environment, Sloggers attempts to maximize the amount of recycled material they put back into their shoes. Currently, they can add up to 50% of mixed recycled material in their soles, and they are able to use 100% of the clear material scraps back into the uppers. The company also encourages you to send your shoes or boots back to them when they have finally reached the end of the road, so they can grind them up and add them back into a new pair of shoes.

The Sloggers' comfortable and practical design, along with their fun prints, have enough style to elicit compliments from friends and strangers alike. These waterproof shoes are not only durable and eco-friendly, but also designed to provide maximum comfort and support for all-day wear.
