I wear these boots on the snowy wet rainy days in Chicago. I am a canine handler for the CPD. These boots are warm and totally waterproof. At first they are a little stiff but they will break in. They are not as comfortable as the UA Valsetz boots but those are not water proof at all. Great boot for the price. Traction in snow and mud is good. I have had these boots for 4 months without any wear problems.
