Bought to use on an upcoming elk hunt. They feel and fit great. Will be warm while breaking them in this spring and summer but will be warm for the fall hunt. The quality of the boots are exceptional and they lace up really nice. The tread is aggressive so I think they'll function great on both rocky and muddy terrain. Haven't been able to test the waterproofing but I have owned other Hi-Tec WP boots before and they all have worked great. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
