Product Comment : These seem to be the only "no shoes" waterproof walking boots you can get at present. They are good for round town and for local dog walks on rough paths though I would hesitate to use them for anything more challenging. The sizing is small for me - I had to go to 41 from an expected 39, or occasionally 40 - and not all that wide. The sole could do with more grip in the wet - fine on level ground but there isnt much of that where I live. And finally, because the leather is thin and flexible the metal eyelets can dig into your feet. I have ended up putting blister patches under the front inside ones to take the pressure off. But I do wear them a lot since barefooting definitely reduces the force through an injured knee compared to ordinary boots. And I can drive in them, which never feels safe in Five Fingers. So worth it despite the niggles.
How did they fit ? I needed a full size larger
