I waited a long time to finally buy these boots after so many other reviews already reinforcing how good these are in wet and snowy weather so I'm focusing my review on a different application: cosplay.
I got these boots to wear with my Love and Deepspace MC Hunter costume fully testing out moves and poses for an entire day at a mall convention. So for long-standing hours, running, and walking - these boots were comfortable and reliable for the entire event. My only mistake was wearing thick but short crew socks instead of boot socks so I thought I'd chafe at the legs where the leather sat on my skin but no such skin issues! Highly recommended!
