Great, well made boots for photographing in sloppy locations
I love these boots. Although the description doesn't say so, they are the "Chore Cool Hi" variant of the boot that is also available in a shorter version. I use them when photographing in streams and wetlands and on beaches. They let me get to places that would otherwise be inaccessible without putting on waders or wading in bare feet. This model has grippy Vibram soles which make walking on slippy surfaces easier. The insole is soft and removable which is handy for customizing the fit or just drying the boots out if you happen to get them wet inside.As far as the fit, they are very roomy inside. I put a SuperFeet Trailblazer insole on top of the included insole and the fit with my low volume feet is acceptable if still a little sloppy. I've hiked several miles in them without any problem. I have larger (17.5") calves and the tops of the boots are tight but not so much that they are at all uncomfortable.This is the "cool" version of the boot and, when standing in water, my feet are very comfortable. In temps below 70F, my feet and legs never feel hot or sweaty, however when temps rise any higher and I am exerting myself I become aware of the fact that my legs are getting a little sweaty. Nothing unbearable—though I can imagine them becoming increasingly uncomfortable as temps rise above 80F.These replace a set of NEOS overshoes that come up higher than these boots and are cooler (sometimes a good thing; other times not). I miss the extra height of the NEOS but nothing else. I am much more agile in these boots and, unlike every pair of NEOS I've ever owned, they are perfectly watertight as long as water doesn't come in over the top of them.In conclusion, I absolutely recommend these boots. They've really exceeded my expectations. I wish they came up even a little higher and were available in black or a black camo instead of the ugly (IMO) brown but I knew what I was getting when I ordered so I won't deduct anything for these minor quibbles.

Great Boots, even did well in snow despite being 'Cool' - 12 mos. Post-purchase Review
Have had these boots for a little over a year. I don't wear them every day, but use them periodically instead. I got them to wear out when I'm in the woods or training my dog and to do chores around the house when the grass is wet.Overall, these boots have been terrific. They are very comfortable overall and do well in a variety of roles. It recently snowed about a foot here and I wore these and even though they aren't insulated, they actually performed very well and I didn't have cold feet!!! They aren't really meant for hunting, but I wore them turkey hunting a few times this past spring and they performed ok as long as you aren't walking long distances.Pros:-Comfortable fit-Durable-Pretty cozy even in cold environments (see note above)-Waterproof (exterior)-Pretty easy to clean (I've had mud all over them and it usually washes right off with just water very little staying behind)-Dry pretty quickly (sweat inside)Cons (all minor):-Only real negative is they aren't as cool (temperature) as I thought they'd be in the spring/summer but you have to understand they are 100% waterproof exterior so there are limitations. I wear these with shorts in the summer and if I don't wear tall socks, my legs have a tendency to sweat and if you wear ankle/no show socks with them you might get some blisters on your ankles so definitely wear taller socks in the warm days-Slight break-in period (to be expected) but just thought I'd mention that here.

Honest reveiw
The quality is great they keep my feet and legs cool on hot days like they're supposed to. The grip is amazing the only downsides so far I have found is that the boots are incredibly heavy so wearing them for long periods Of time your feet and legs will be sore I just wish these boots were lighter in weight so I could wear them more
