I wore these on the entire pennine and highland ways.  And then I wore them on daily hikes through the fall season.  Then they wore out and I am on my second pair.  The waterproofing is quite good-- but I also re-proofed them mid hike because the pennine is so wet (I am not sure they needed it but it made me feel better).  I dunked my whole foot in bog almost every other day and my feet stayed mostly dry.  A change of socks was required but my feet were always comfortable, never so wet to weaken the skin, and nothing rubbed.  I am also a feet sweat person and my feet never got too hot in these.  My husband has the same shoe and will never wear anything else.  I am going to buy the ankle height one for trail running.

CON:  the sole: this is the only thing with the shoe that I wish was more 'sturdy.'  The grip on slippery rock is not as good as my keenes.  The sole also wears rather quickly (though to be fair I put many miles on them per day for many days).
