These boots are by far the best pair of work boots I have ever owned.  I am an "Entertainment Electrician" - I work with the lighting & rigging for exhibits, trade shows, conventions, concerts, etc...  So I naturally find myself working outdoors as well as indoors.  I also have to be able to work on a ladder, in a lift, or out on ceiling beams / catwalks and the like.  Depending on the project, the hours we work can be grueling - 16+ hr days, several days straight.  So finding the right pair of work boots that are comfortable, lightweight, waterproof, and protect from electrical shock hazard are difficult.  As mentioned in a previous review, there are 3 styles/colors.  Of those three only the "Brown" color is waterproof.  You can see (zooming into the photo images) on the boot exterior midway up the ankle there is a "waterproof membrane" label embedded in the skin.  I have flat feet so for every pair of shoes/boots I have an arch support insert I use.  Even still, these boots are very comfortable.  They offer excellent traction.  I have worn them while trudging thru snow & ice...my feet stay warm and dry.  I have walked thru puddles as deep as my foot.  So long as the water does not go over your ankle and into the neoprene boot insert, your feet will stay dry.  They provide excellent traction.  They do offer a tight fit.  Even over several months they stay tight. Personally, I like that.  I feel it is because they are waterproof.  The only wish I have is that I could get them in all black...stealth military style.  That would work well for when I am working backstage.
