My husband was surprised.  He works in the water all of the time for work and he was not happy about me suggesting ordering boots online and he could not try them on first.  He has the MOST difficult time getting boots to fit and feel comfortable.  He was really surprised.  He uses them every day and will be buying more in about 6 months or so because he goes through them so fast.  Hands down one of the best boots he has bought.
