Where I live, it rains 9 months out of the year.  I just walked through wet grass -not in rain yet- and my toes got wet on the inside.  I'll probably just take some waterproofing spray to them.

The lining surprised me in its softness -very nice!  I wore these in 5 degree weather with no socks and my feet were plenty warm.

I originally got the 3 button height, but I like the 2 button height better.  They're more like Ugg height.  Well...at least I think so.  I've never owned Uggs.

As with any sizing without half sizes, the smaller size was too tight and the larger size is too sloppy, but I go for the larger.
