Made it through half a nasty winter so far, and still holding up well, but I am hoping they last through 10 or more nasty upstate NY winters. The insulation makes them very warm, and they look like they are sturdy enough to stay waterproof for a long time. I hope they last longer than the expensive Muck Boots which sprung a leak after only about 2 years.

Definitely order the size, or size and a half larger. They do run small.

My only complaint is that the brown upper part that is supposedly leather feels like vinyl. Maybe they just need to be worn and softened up a bit more, but right now it's hard and not flexible at all.

Oh, and this Canadian company has their boots manufactured in China...
