Is the Sam Edelman Laguna actually waterproof?

Yes. The upper is built as waterproof leather and fabric, so rain and puddles bead off rather than soaking through. It is not a wading boot, so avoid standing water above the shaft.

How does it fit compared with other Chelsea boots?

It runs true to size for most wearers, with a snug slip-on opening. If you have a high instep or wide foot, consider going up half a size.

How tall is the boot?

The shaft is about 6 inches with a calf circumference around 9.5 inches, so it sits at the ankle. The heel is 1.5 inches.

Can I wear it in snow?

For light snow and slush, yes, thanks to the lug sole and waterproof upper. The short shaft leaves the ankle exposed in deep snow.

What is the upper made of?

Leather and fabric with a man-made lining and insole, on a rubber lug outsole.

How do I clean the ivory version?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, and treat leather areas with a waterproofing spray. Avoid machine washing.

Our take on the Sam Edelman Laguna Ivory Waterproof Chelsea Booties

The Sam Edelman Laguna is a pull-on Chelsea bootie with a waterproof leather and fabric upper, a lugged rubber sole and pull tabs at the front and back. The 1.5-inch heel and roughly 6-inch shaft keep it low and easy to walk in, and the lug outsole gives it grip that smooth-soled fashion Chelsea boots lack. It suits commuters, wet-weather wearers and anyone who wants a clean ankle boot that handles rain. Against plain leather Chelsea boots it trades a little dressiness for weatherproofing and traction.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Laguna line generally like the easy pull-on fit and the grippy lug sole, and treat the waterproof upper as the main reason to pick it over a standard Chelsea boot. Complaints center on stiffness at first and on how quickly the pale upper picks up marks.
