These boots are amazing! Extremely comfortable and very water resistant. I recently hiked up Mt Wilson to test out some new gear and I just walked right through streams and puddles and the insides didn't get wet at all! Great ankle support and very durable. The traction was a little slippery and I'm thinking that its because they're just new but I did notice that the little balls in the rubber traction underneath are now plastic when they used to be metal. Other than that, great product!
