Came across these quite by accident. I’m a fan of barefoot style shoes and these appealed because of that. On their debut walk, I was comfortable and also warm and dry. Very happy with the ability to fold them into a very neat package - perfect for travel. Would heartily recommend.
These are amazing if you’re looking for a barefoot wellie, shame that they don’t have the wide toe box most barefoot shoes have, it’s much more comfortable. Hopefully they add that in the future and I’ll get another pair. If you normally ware barefoot shoes get the next size up as your big toe will be squashed
First pair I ordered were a little tight so I requested a return. I made some mistakes I'm the process but their customer service were so patient and helpful. Got the size up and they fit perfectly and feel like a dream. I never imagined wellies could be so comfortable! Looking forward to splashing around without worrying about my poor weirdly shaped feet getting rubbed raw. I can't recommend this company highly enough.
First pair of Pokeboo's and after a couple of pairs of big brand wellies before, I can safely say that these are a different league in comfort to those. I've been using barefoot shoes for a year so there is no transition for me and that makes these an instant win for my feet. It's like a form fitted rubber ninja sock but without it being as sweaty or as hard to put on or take off as that description sounds. In fact it is a pleasure to put on, and easy to take off. Easy to keep clean and I reckon if you can walk correctly and without drag you can expect these to last a long time. Never thought I would geek out about wellies but these are seriously good and look much better looking on than most style of wellies. Tried them in the local stream about a foot deep with absolutely no worries.
The most comfortable rubber boots I have ever worn. The thin rubber creases with every movement and they have such a thin sole that they feel like rubber socks.
I changed my Pokeboo Tread Boots from size 5 - 5.5 to 6 - 6.5 and they are much better. For me the sizing is unusual for my feet, as I'm never been a size 6 before and, yet with these lovely boots, the size 6 is only just long enough for my feet. Having said that, the boots are really lovely - very comfortable and they look absolutely great! When I changed boots, the team were friendly and helpful and very efficient, so I highly recommend them.

"" Excellent addition to the original model!
This larger tread version of the original boot is fabulous! The sole is still entirely flexible (the most important part of the boot for me!) and yet there is greater grip from the thicker tread. Totally worth while for those who might be walking on muddy or wet trails! ""
"" I love Pokeboo. They have the cutest name & are the best barefoot friendly rain-boot. I am so happy to see they have a more rugged sole! Thank you Pokeboo✨🙌🙏""
