I am generally pleased with this boot.  We were at the Pacific Ocean over Thanksgiving and I was able to walked on the rocks and sand very well.  I walked through streams and they are waterproof.  So they are as good as what they advertise.  My only apprehension is about how long I will be able to walk in them.  The insoles are hard with little cushion.  I will have to see what happens when I walk over a mile.  Oh, they are very nice looking and well-built.  I imagine they will wear well.
