Excellent shoes! They fit well. Have been holding up well to serious abuse. After a little break-in period, I am able to wear them all day. They are really water proof, but they still breathe so your feet don't feel like they're in ovens. No, they aren't hip-waders. Walk in tall, wet grass, mud, and work in the rain with dry feet! Step in a 4" deep puddle, you're on your own.They are also very "grippy" shoes. They grab on to slick surfaces, and wet grass really well.I highly recommend these shoes.
