My experience is they are everything that Wolverine says, tuff, dry/water proof, comfortable and they are light weight. I ordered them a 1/2 size larger and in wide to accomdate thicker socks and that turned out to be the right choice. I like the boots very much and will probably get another pair when these wear out. I've had them for about a month now and they were easy to break in and they appear to be well made.
