I got these boots and a different style (same brand) in camel.  Nice boots.  Both are light weight and comfortable.  They are great for wide feet (roomy inside) and so socks are great inside these boots.  I wear these all day and walk all over the place with no problem.  These are not meant to be worn in wet weather.  I don't think the fabric will keep water out.  So maybe it might be a good idea to scotch guard them.
