I have been loving these shoes since the moment I first slipped them on (not just because I won them for free - thank you freet!). They feel cosy, they are so far truly waterproof, and the ankle height keeps water out, while at the same time the design makes sure this does not interfere with ankle mobility as some boots do. The super soft and flexible upper further adds to this, providing some stability, but not taking away from full mobility.
Having insanely sweaty feet (compared to anyone I know), my socks do get wet because of the moist accumulation, but that's no different from most other waterproof shoes I have. The upside is that this shoe is comfortable and cozy enough that the dampness does not bother me. (Again, I'd like to stress that I know no-one that has this issue like I do, and with this shoe, it actually doesn't bother me as it does in other shoes.) Therefore the four star-review: I love the shoes more than any other shoe I have had in the category, but I am still waiting for the impossible mix of truly waterproof, yet fully breathable boot (which I have not met in other barefoot, or conventional boots).
