Is the Tamara boot actually waterproof?

Yes. The synthetic upper is described as waterproof, so rain and puddles are shed rather than soaked in. It has no Gore-Tex membrane, so very wet days or deep water can still get in at the seams.

How does the Tamara fit?

It is a slip-on in a wide E width, which gives more room across the forefoot than a standard width. The foam and cork insole sits underfoot with a 4.75-inch shaft around the ankle.

How tall is the heel?

The block heel is 2.375 inches, with a 0.25-inch platform under the forefoot. That keeps the heel stable and shortens the effective pitch compared with a thin stiletto.

What is the upper made of?

A polyurethane and synthetic upper with a synthetic and textile lining. It is not leather, so it wipes clean but does not mold to the foot the way leather does.

Can I wear these all day?

The foam and cork insole and block heel make them comfortable for commuting and standing. The heel height is the main limit for long shifts on your feet.
