Only had 2 walks (10 and 6 mile in very wet and muddy hill conditions) so far but great boot for the money. Only dropping one star for flat eyelets which makes tying the laces more awkward. Very wide fit and wide sole. Much wider than Scarpa's and Meindl Buthans for comparison.Very comfortable straight away. Fully waterproof so far, even when submerged. They might not be quite as premium as some of the £250 - £300 boots around but for what you pay these are excellent value. A lot of boot for your money. Until scarpa and meindl stop making boots with ice skates for soles these will definately do the job just fine.
