Since I've always bought from well known manufacturers my Outdoorshoes and was really happy with any shoe (not waterproof, leather or torn heel dekefekt) I have now times bought this hiking boot. First, I'm just a small distance migrated to watch times whether any Scheuérstellen occur. I can deny. Fits like a glove. Today I have now made the endurance test, meadows, gravel, Teerwege (DOG) everything not an issue !!!!!! But I wanted to know whether they 100 Prozemt yes. are waterproof. I introduced myself to a single pair-minute rain puddle and what can I say: dry feet !!!!!!! If the shoes still bear it in half a year, for me there is no other more. Positive is also that they are cheaper by half than that of known manufacturers.
