My boots arrived just in time for the recent northeast blizzard. Based on other reviews I had ordered a larger size and they fit just fine. My feet stay dry through snow banks slush and puddles. The button closure is a bit difficult for my stiff old fingers so I don't always fasten them. The extended heel tab makes taking the boots off very easy without bending over. The rubber the boots are made from is thick and pliable, I expect they will hold up very well.
