Very Comfortable right out of the box
I was worried when I purchased these that they would be like some other much style boots that I have had in the past and not be very comfortable until they were broke in. I walked almost 3 miles the first night out with them and my feet didn't hurt and I was dry after wading some shallow creeks. Would be a great addition to any adventures gear!

After 3 seasons, these have Pros and CONS...
Ordered a set of these 3 years ago from a Dan's auth dealer. Pros: The Cordura material on the legs is Briar Proof, flexible enough, and tough. The belt straps/plastic buckles work fine and are adjustable. The boot soles give good grip. CONS: The right boot/inner waterproof material developed a leak at the seem between the 2 and my right foot gets wet every time I wear these. I've resealed that boot several times with Shoe Goe and Aqua Seal but can't get it to seal. The outer Cordura and the inner waterproof layer don't seal at the top of the boot and when you step in water, the water gets between the 2 layers. The boots are TIGHT (foot is an 11, ordered an 11 boot) and if wet or damp, are very hard to get your foot in, even with only 1 sock. 2 socks, forget it. Also, the sole of the right boot leaks around the edge, which is very odd. The right boot Neoprene ankle area got punctured by a hidden sharp Beaver chew, but Aqua Seal sealed it. Order them a size larger than your regular shoe size if you plan to use thick or 2 pairs of socks. They are close to making a perfect hip Wader, just need some adjustments in design and sizing.
