The boots should be waterproof - unfortunately it is not. Had to be stuffed at a forest walk in the rain-soaked grass after 5 minutes already soaking leaving feet, so that the boots Conn. With newspaper to dry. The later overspray with "Nano-Spray" helped a little, but unfortunately only a little. Therefore, "not bad" only three stars = I, but the boots they wear well, suitable for walks in "Schietwetter", but they should order one size larger than usual. This applies to women's sizes as well as for men's sizes.
