The boots fit well are comfortable and last very well...My complaints tho are...1. Can't be resoled...2. The gore-tex liner...3. The laces are cheap and break very fast...As for the gore-tex lining...From the Danner website it says "GORE-TEX lining provides waterproof, breathable protection"

I've had several pairs over many years and not a single pair provided the "waterproof" that they claim...
