By far the best boots I've ever owned. Wearing them right now, in fact. They are heavy, but totally worth it. As an EMT for a volunteer ambulance and the head of a school's maintenance department, they see A LOT of snow. Turns out they're absolutely waterproof, and I give them a coat of Kiwi natural polish once every week or two, at least around the bottom of the uppers. Well suited to a man with a larger frame (6 feet, 220 lbs). Corrected my posture somewhat from the very first day.
