Great boots - worn them on 2 hikes now and they were comfortable, even in puddles (definitely water-proof enough) and also warm for when it's cold. The only down side is they definitely run small. I'm usually a 6 or 6.5 in shoes, and went for the 6.5 in these becuase I read they ran small, but I wish I had gone for the 7 because they're only big enough for me to wear thinner socks and on the hike down mountains they squeeze my toes. I would definitely recommend going a full size up from your regular size, especially if you need room for thicker socks.
