    Not waterproof

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Nov 28th 2014

    These boots are light weight and very comfortable but they are not waterproof as advertised. I was in ankle deep water the other night and my socks became damp. I will say that water did not rush into the boot to the point that water was sloshing around but my feet were definitely not dry. Another con is the tab of the zipper on the left boot broke off. The zipper is still functional but it's definitely inconvenient.

    Best Boot Period!!

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Feb 26th 2014

    So far this boot has been great compared to other high end boots. They are very comfortable and don't need to be broken in. They are good to go straight out of the box. The heel is very comfortable and the padding is excellent. The boot also holds an excellent shine when polished! I get compliments all the time with these boots!
