I bought these shoes for walking in the woods and keeping my feet dry. I am a mushroom hunter and photographer. They were very comfortable and actually just what I wanted. They served me well for less than 2 months before developing a hole on top of the shoe where the toes bend. Most unacceptable. I admit I tested them hard by doing a lot of hiking over rough terrain and lots of crouching and getting up. They should have done better for this 61 year old who is obviously a lot tougher than these shoes.

I am re reviewing these. The company was very good about replacing my first pair. The second pair held up well. They are quite comfortable, waterproof, and took the kind of beating I can hand out hiking the outdoors. Being waterproof of course they don't breathe. They are relatively warm in cooler weather which means a bit hot in the summer. I will buy these again.
