Since my review for last year’s Cougar Boots vanished (along with other 300+ articles) from the site, I no longer have the evidence to show the results from my waterproof test or how fun it was to jump in the tub and drench those boots with water. I had the Ringo Star 2 (made from patent/nylon) and they had a waterproof guarantee for a reason.
I initially wanted to do a friction test in the rain but due to a birthday filled week and a blog post deadline, I had to settle for a regular review for now. Check out this random video I put together to show off the Portico Brown boots.

Awesome video, I know.
The Montana Leather is a lot darker in person than it is on the website (which is a great thing) and the suede adds a nice casual touch for any occasion. Plus tall boots are the official go-to shoes to dress up any outfit and they flatter every one. Yes, I’m warning you now: I’m pretty sure these boots will replace my suede Steve Maddens and become my fall/winter staple.
Even though I did the waterproof experiment on my Ringo Star 2′s, I was curious about the waterproof guarantee with suede. After the video, I poured water from my bottle and while the suede was wet, my feet remained dry. Just make sure your laces are tied up tightly and comfortably so the water doesn’t sneak past the tongue. And when the rain is here, maybe I’ll run around or jump into a puddle and see how long my feet will stay dry in these Cougar Boots. Until then, I’m pretty happy with these boots. Thanks, Cougar Boots and Matchstick!
