This is the same boot that comes in the fancy colors.  The all black one is less expensive and does the same function.  The inside of the foot is lined and padded so it is extremely comfortable and warm if you wear it around cold water, cold wet soil, or just out on a sloppy day.  I expect them to last for a good, long time.  One drawback that I can think of is that they are designed for the average to slender calf.  If you have large calfs, these may not be the best fir for you.  Otherwise, They are great!
