I've been searching for the right rubber boots and decided to use this 'short' model. This boot is perfect for my needs! With the fast times out dog, is only a short time hineingeschlupft (Creates far enough, even with normal jeans no problem) and it runs to super comfortable, thanks to the extra-padded sole. It pays to spend a little more and buy the course 2. Material is soft but still stable. The foot has great grip.
