INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY RATINGS

EASE OF USE
Like all of Holeys products, the Coastal Boot is easy to get into and easy to get out of.  And as always, when little ones and big ones are able to put their shoes on and take them off, our review team gives them high marks!
DURABILITY
Holeys are made to be worn in the best and the worst environments.  Specifically, Coastal Boots are designed for rain wear, and are ready to keep your feet dry and warm.  In wet weather or not, our review team felt confident that  these shoes were made to last!
VISUAL APPEAL
Visual Appeal is a totally subjective category, and this is one of those times that not all member of the review team fell in love with a style of shoe.  In other Holeys reviews, they received high marks for looks, but the high-top clog design of the Coastal Boot turned off some of the review team.  Not too much, they still earned four stars, but some of our review team, they felt much more comfortable with some of Holeys other styles.
FUNCTIONALITY
With its high top design, Holeys' Coastal Boot is definitely built around wet, rainy weather - and it is clear that your feet will stay dry inside in and out of puddles.  But for more everyday use, our review team also liked some of Holeys other styles here as well.  The Coastal Boot definitely fulfills its main duty, but you probably wouldn't wear them beyond a rainy day.
COST EFFICIENCY
With a review team that was focused pretty much on The Coastal Boot only being worn in rainy weather, they all went a bit low on the price.  As such, for both the kids and the adults sizes our review team was between $5 and $10 off of the actual retail price of $24.99 (kids) and $29.99 (adults).

ORIGINALITY

Where the review team wasn't thrilled with function and price, they were definitely pleased with Originality.  Coastal Boots were designed specifically for wet weather, and that makes them much different than so many of the other shoe designs within this category.  Well done!
OVERALL RATING
With a price a little higher than the team preferred, and function just a bit limited, Holeys' Costal Boot didn't get all five stars.  But with super durability, super design, and being really easy to use, the Coastal Boot still scored well enough across the board to earn four stars.  If you have a long rainy season, or live in a rainy climate, Coastal Boots might be the perfect addition to your footwear collection.
