Got this boot for shoveling snow and taking kids sledding in Cleveland.  I have worn it for about a month, and has kept my feet dry, even when I went snow shoeing for three hours.  Great traction in any weather.  I did have to put insoles in to make the boot more comfortable to stand in (I do this with all but my running shoes).  I have had this shoe in two inches of water several time, feet still dry.
