These were incredibly comfortable out of the box. Shed the water when proofed, but I found they really needed re proofing after a couple of wet hours. Used them with Berghaus Yeti gaiters in really bad weather, but the boots still get a bit wet, they just stay cleaner. Never got wet feet wearing them. I've never used them with much of a pack - just day walks - and a fair bit of hill running - great for descents where they give much more ankle support then fell shoes. Reasonable all round grip.

However after about 9 months fairly heavy use (tho mostly on grass so the soles weren't that worn) they split around the toe - so now they're pretty useless. I think I needed to reproof a lot more - but it would have cost a small fortune in proofing spray - maybe I need a better proofing product. Recommended - but look after them if they get wet.
