Excellent fit for a guy with wide feet. I'm no light weight at 230 pounds, so I tend to wear out shoes and boots quickly. I've put about 115 miles of wilderness hiking on my pair of 452's. So far no water intrusion on several trips walking in muddy conditions with lots of creek crossings. The soles are a little hard and the insoles not as soft as others, but at the end of the day my feet feel better than they do with the cushy boots I've been wearing for the last few years. My other brand of boots usually lose the ability to remain waterproof after about a year. Hope these Danners last longer. I'll post a follow up review after I get a few more months of use.
