Bought these primarily to wear to the shooting range.  They are warm and comfortable and for an old overweight geezer like me the side zippers are a Godsend.  I replaced the innersoles with some that give more support for my plantar fasciitis, but that is in no way a criticism of the innersoles that come with the boot.  I wanted both waterproof and side zip but finding both together in one boot puts you into a much more expensive boot.  For the money you can't beat these.  Great value.
