While it's looks fine on the outside I can't figure out WHY
it was so painful to wear ... because I have the two pairs of the GTX version.

I have found that there was two pinch point toward the front near the front shoelace
eyelids which I found to be painful... maybe had I order a larger size it would of been less
painful.

I'll go back to re-ordering the GTX version with goretex.
