- Is the Rhumba actually waterproof?
- Aquatalia treats the suede to resist rain and snow, so light wet weather is fine. It is weatherproof, not a rubber boot, so standing water and heavy storms will still soak through.
- How does the sizing run?
- The boot is described as having a tailored, close fit with subtle stretch in the shaft. Shoppers between sizes or with wider calves should consider going up.
- Will the 12-inch shaft fit wide calves?
- A 12-inch circumference is on the slim side. Measure your calf at its widest point before buying; the stretch helps but does not add much room.
- How tall is the heel and shaft?
- The heel is 3.3 inches with a 0.5-inch platform, and the shaft is about 15.3 inches tall, landing below the knee for most wearers.
- What comes in the box?
- The boot only. No extra laces, shoe trees or care kit are included, so pick up a suede brush and protector separately.
- Can I wear these in snow and salt?
- They handle cold and light snow, but road salt stains suede. Wipe and brush them after exposure and reapply protector through the season.
