I previously have owned two pairs of these boots that were non water proof, but after a long, cold, wet winter I decided to try the waterproof version.  I have always been a fan of multishocks and the fact that most jobs require steel toe makes that a necissity.  The only reason why I only gave them 4 stars is because It seems to be taking a long time to break them in.  They advertise the boots as having the "contour welt" which makes them easy to break in, but so far they are not half as comfortable as my year old boots.  I don't know if they are harder to break in because this pair is waterproof vs my old pair being non waterproof, or they seem so stiff because my old ones are soo broken in.  But all in all the boots are all the options I wanted for a decent price.  Usually cant go wrong with a nice pair of wolverines
