These boots are great and they look fantastic. They were comfortable from the first wear and I’ve never had a blister since I started wearing them a year ago. I’d say they’re waterproof to an extent but I do get damp feet after walking through long grass or at the beach. It’s not like I submerge my feet in water either. Also, they take about ten minutes per shoe to put on! Well not ten minutes but they’re really hard to put on, it’s like a mini workout. I thought it’d be easier after a year but it isn’t! My husband has the men’s pair and they’re exactly the same, really hard to put on. The positives outweigh the negatives but I’d expect more waterproofing for the price.
