BORN Women's Cove Charcoal 9.5 M

I purchased these boots because they were waterproof, seemed to have good traction and looked attractive. I live in Alaska and waterproof, sturdy boots were what I was after. I got some significant wetness inside the boots and felt worried so researched some ways to treat this. I took out the inside sock liners first and then put wadded newspaper inside the boots. Checked this after about an hour and the newspaper wads were wet so took them out and did it again with new newspaper waded up. Probably did it about 6 times in a day. I got a large rag and covered the liners on both sides on a mat and stomped on the liners on both sides. Did this several times. All of this helped in a day, much better but still wet in places. So I put the liners under my heat exhaust but not too close (!!) maybe five feet away but so I could let the exhaust hit them. Overnight, they were dry! So I did that with the boots with the heat exhaust and in a morning's time viola. All better. I was impressed with how well these boots did and really like them. They are comfortable and stylish. I got the charcoal grey leather and they could pass for a muted mediumish brown.
