Didn't buy it from good old Amazon this time, but at a local department store. I've had these for 3 1/2 weeks, and so far, so very, very good. Yes, expect that it runs at least a half size larger than normal. GREAT BOOT! Super comfortable, lightweight, well stitched and very ergonomic, broken in and wearable right out of the box, and they really are waterproof! Major storms here in CA over the last 3 weeks, and just slogged on through. The waterproof part was important to me, as I fish, hike, and generally require something that is bulletproof enough to take a pretty good thrashing, but that looks good enough to wear out to dinner, etc, when I'm done...and these are good lookin' boots. My experience is that waterproof sometimes only means weather-resistant, but so far these are true to the description. Will update if that changes. Anyway, 5 stars so far.
