Boot is very lightweight ,yet surprisingly warm . I drive a concrete truck and use these for work . In and out of mud , water ,and piles of concrete all day long and no problems . I just rinse them off before I get back in my truck with the water hose on the truck . Very easy on and off .  These boots get a serious workout from me everyday and are comfortable to wear .  I'm sure they weren' designed for the punishment that they get from me on a daily basis , but they sure take it in stride . After months of continous use , there is no visible wear . I would definitly recommend these boots .
