Thank you for the review! I’ve been looking for rain boots, and these are too cute.

Cute boots! Love ‘em!

Those boots look so stylish yet practical. Your dog is so attentive and another beautiful accessory.

Great boots!!! Excellent post.

awesome!!! they look great!

Thanks for this review! Would you say they are pretty true to size?

If you are in COLD and wet weather would some warmer/thicker socks work in them?

My daughter is going to school this summer in London and they might be the perfect Bon Voyage gift. She has a wide foot and seems to be between a 10 and 11 US size.

Thanks!

Thanks for a wonderful report Eva. I love the pet presence on YLF and to have canine royalty like Iniki gracing our pages is extra fab (she’s a US frisbee champion). Her loving and attentive expression makes my heart melt. I bet she has Mum wrapped around her little paw.

You look super-duper Eva! You were the perfect candidate to test this product and you did a marvelous job. I have my eye on the “puppy love” and “oooh la lace” styles as I much prefer them to the houndstooth wellies I have from J.Crew. I really like the buckle that adjusts at the calf. It adds a bit of tailoring to the leg that spiffs up the look. I saw several women wear Plueys in the slush in NYC earlier this year. Another good use for the product.

I have a few quezzies:

o I usually wear a 6.5 or Euro 37. Do you think I should size up?

o As far as wellies go, do they feel quite light on your feet?

Very nice post! The boots are really cute. I have JCrew’s critter wellies, and when I put them on, I feel a bit odd because I am the only adult I see walking around in those, but that’s kind of fun too.

These look super cute! I don’t really have much need for wellies, but these look too fun to pass up! Thanks for the report

I think you have just brought wellies into mainstream fashion Eva. They do look grown up and pretty.
Thankyou for the critique. Well done.
Iniki is so beautiful with all that white fur on the back. Is she an Australian Shepard? I have always loved whatever breed she is, they are very smart. It doesn’t surprise me that she is a Frisbee Champ. I know a real, working cowboy in eastern WA who has a dog like Iniki that works right along beside him.
This is the first time we’ve seen your face! You are so beautiful!

Thanks everyone!

Debbie, I think they would make a great Bon Voyage gift for your daughter.

With regard to size, I suggest picking the larger size. I wear a 5.5 and got a 37 Euro. Angie, I think you should go a size to 38. Debbie, you might pick the euro equivalent of a size 11 (Euro 42). I have worn thicker socks with them in our cold weather. I also saw that the Sublime style says they run slightly larger than regular size.

I didn’t find them too heavy at all. They have a thick rubber sole, so they are not light. Angie you are right the adjustable buckle is good for those like me who have larger calves with small feet.

Angie, I loved the Oh La Lace and the Puppy Love. It is so hard to choose! Thank you for your lovely comments on Iniki. As you know, her passion in life next to the Frisbee is to make sure everyone loves her!

What an appropriate post to come home from holiday to! I could have used these last week in the English countryside;)

Great prints on these- they make rain seem almost fun. I love the ones you picked, Eva, but the Catstooth ones are my fave. They literally made me squeal when I clicked on them. Here in the UK classic Hunters are the norm (as worn by Kate Moss and country-types alike) but these are making me consider something more colourful.

(Debbie- is your daughter going to London just for the summer, or will she be staying for a whole academic year? If it’s the former, she might not get a lot of wear out of boots like this. London summers can be HOT, and contrary to what a lot of people think, it doesn’t actually rain that much here.)

Great review! And thanks for modeling them for us, Eva. These boots are super cute.

Ele

Thanks for the tip! She will only be there June, July and part of Aug. Maybe I should buy them for me instead!

Great Post Eva,

You look beautiful standing next to your adorable pooch. Very cute cardi you are sporting as well.

No need for these where I live, however it has been raining alot this past week, I may have to reconsider.

Great review! I have Hunter wellies that I purchased at a huge discount at a designer sample sale website, and they serve me immensely well when I have to walk my dog in the rain (which is quite often here in New England in the spring!)

Great post! Thanks for the test drive report — your purple boots are so cute and springy.

i have totally been looking for a pair of rain boots for FOREVER! those are adorable!

Thank you everyone! It was fun to test the boots, and the Seattle weather gave me a lot of opportunities. There are a lot of fun patterns to choose from!

Taylor, my cardi is from H&M. It goes so well with different color camis, it is my favorite.

Sorry, not loving them, although you and your pooch are very attractive! They look like something for a child, in my opinion.

Those wellies are so cheerful and fun Eva (I think Iniki is loving them too;-) And you’re absolutely right: sloshing in puddles without having to give it a second thought makes a walk much more fun!
Now we’ll have to help you find that purple umbrella.

I’ve got a pair of Plueys on the way right now, so after reading this review, I’m even more excited to get them!

I’m confused. No offense whatsoever to Eva or your adorable dog, you both look great.

But, do these fall into the gear category? I’m not sure I understand why uggs got such a bad rap but these are okay. My personal opinion would be that they look a little juvenile, but I think they are expressive and if you like the pattern/style/comfort level you should wear them. (I have a “wear what makes you happy” fashion stance)

But, like the advice of taking off the Uggs once you reach your destination, do these need to be removed once you arrive as well?

Hm, we have a few comments on the look of the boots as juvenile or for children. I consider it more as “playful”. Amy, I definitely consider the boots in the gear category. They are gear for the outdoors to keep your feet dry and warm. I take it off when I am done walking the dogs or back from walking to the grocery store. This is different from my Sperry Top Siders, which I have worn with skinnies in the snowy winter when going to the mall.

I am not an Uggs fan, so I will let Angie answer how she sees the looks differ.

Good explanation, Eva.

Amy, thanks for your valuable comment. Nice wellies don’t fall into the gear category in my book. These are a fashion piece, much like how a trendy anorak would be found in the fashion department and not a sporting goods store. Classic Uggs (not all Uggs), look like bedroom slippers in my book, which is the main reason they get a thumbs down from me. These are sturdy practical rubber boots that look like peds you can wear outside.

As for removing them once you’re indoors, absolutely. And I carry a change of shoes on these days. But I would also wear a pair of super sophisticated wellies while I’m in the city over a pair of skinnies on a really wet day.

Just say no.
These are ultimately a trickle down from the hunter/jumper world.
I think that a nice pair of flats or even a boot pump would not be amiss.

Hi, Eva!

You look great with your Plueys!

For me rainboots are really a necessity even though we usually have a fair weather here in the Philippines. So when I saw Plueys in a magazine, I made up my mind that I really have to get a pair of those pieces of art though its rather costly. Not realizing that when I get the real feel and look of it, I would be wanting not just one pair but two. That’s why I bought a pair of Sublime to use when I’m doing my laundry, gardening and other household chores that needs it; and a pair of Puppy Love to make my rainy days in the mall or anywhere fun and fashionable. I really love my two pairs of Plueys because it gives me a cheery feel, comfort and protection. Just like you, I’m very proud of my Plueys.
