I love Chippewa boots, and these are no exception. Remarkably comfortable, very well made. Though they're called waterproof, I wouldn't go wading in them. That's what rubber boots are for. Break-in is fast, and the insulatied lining adds to the comfort. The bay apache leather is prone to scuffinga LOTbut these are work boots, so...

(Note: I find it extremely tiresome that so many boot reviewers make a big deal about US vs China manufacturing. I have several pairs of each and it makes NO DIFFERENCE. Quality is a function of the company's standards, not the factory's location. Chippewa's standards are very high, so ALL of their boots are excellent. If foreign manufacturing keeps them affordable, so much the better. FYI, I'm not affiliated with Chippewa in any way. This is a totally independent opinion.)
