I’ve worn these consistently for almost six years of winter weather in New York, working long hours in the film industry outdoors in whatever the sky throws at you and they have always kept my feet warm and dry. Simply the best boots I’ve ever owned. Only now am I thinking of getting them re-soled, after al this time. I’m not even sure that it’s necessary, but I expect that these boots will last me another 5 plus years, and I look forward to their comfort throughout that time. I’m actually only writing this review because I was recommending the manufacturer to some friends and wanted to check my order. When I saw the mediocre reviews I was shocked. Amazing boots.
