I've had them for about a year and only used them a handful of times. I paid full retail because I knew I had to have them once I laid my eyes on them! They are colorful, stylish and look great with shorts or even skinny jeans! 100% Authentic! Only reason I am selling is because someone bought me a pair that fit better! The jell has a slight tint of color but that is normal for these types of rain boots! OBO
