I had these boots already once before - from another supplier. Since they have proven to be surprisingly waterproof - the wet meadow in the park in the morning with the dog was certainly not a problem. If in this pair not quite the case, even if it's not the same squeaks in the shoe. Otherwise, for my purposes - morning in the transitional period with the dog in quickly and off without fumbling - just right. And comfortable. I ordered 36 and 37, which is also somewhat abundant fails as intended, so I can still be fooled a sole and some can wear thicker socks.
