"I purchased my boots in early 2008 to use for my work season, I used them maybe for 2 months of that year doing very easy trek terrain ( trail quality). Consisting of grasslands, marshes heavily treed areas and including some minor rocky outcrops.

They were excellent for repelling water and keeping my feet dry fantastic fit and very comfortable."

"First, let me qualify my *early* review by saying, I am still breaking them in. These are first impressions.

The quality (stitching, seal, design, and easy lacing system) are the best I have ever experienced. The footbed is terrible; a flimsy 2mm insert."

"I am writing this review to help others understand the boot if buying online. Foot description: I have size 12. 5 but wear Nike 13 running shoe. I have a high arch, high instep and small round heel. My foot although wide overall "EE" is narrow, in that, my big toe is quite prominent and angles down dramatically to my little toe."

"Great boot!!! No breaking in required. I've had them in the snow, rain, mud and they've kept my feet dry and comfy.

One nice feature is a locking eyelet that keeps my heel from slipping on steep slopes."
