I would give 5stars but 4is more appropriate.  Its great but is not super, and you know super.  But try on before you buy to make sure it fits .  Bottom is good ,  kind of heavy,  BUT for being waterproof they do breath!  Unlike other waterproof shoes that don't and your Soxs get sweaty.  But buy with confidence and beware they may disappear without warning from timberland cuz thats what they do with good things.  BOTTOM LINE excellent balanced hikers, you won't be disappointed.
