I needed a pair of walking boots to replace two pairs of Swiss boots that I had bought at nearly £200 per pair and which had to be returned because they were not waterproof. I stumbled across these online and thought I'd try them as a stop-gap until I found what I thought would be better, but they've turned out to be excellent! I tramp through wet and muddy fields with my dogs twice daily and after 6 months of constant use, these boots remain 100% waterproof, are warm and comfortable. When the boots get too mucky, I simply shower them with the hose, dry them off, and they're ready to wear again the following day. They are incredible value for money. I couldn't improve on them and highly recommend them.
