Is the Barbour Halton actually waterproof?

Yes. Barbour lists it as waterproof, with a rubber and textile upper and a rubber and synthetic outsole. The ankle height means water can still enter from the top in deep puddles.

How high is the heel?

The block heel is 4 inches, which is high for a rain boot. Expect a noticeable lift and less stability on uneven or muddy ground than a flat Wellington.

What sizes does it come in?

Listings show US sizes 3 through 8. It is a women's boot with a slip-on fit, so try your usual size first.

Is it warm enough for winter?

The lining combines faux fur, textile and cotton, which adds warmth for fall and mild winter. It is not a snow boot and has no insulation rating.

The pair of boots only. No spare laces or care kit are listed.

How does it compare with a flat Wellington?

The Halton trades the flat sole and tall shaft of a classic Wellington for a 4-inch block heel and ankle height. That suits city wear and outfits, but a flat knee-high boot keeps feet drier in deep water and is steadier on mud.
