I am a hobby photographer outside a lot and always with a lot of equipment at the start. I usually wear my hiking boots and I have often annoyed when a deeper puddle or a ditch requiring a detour. Now I can freely overcome these obstacles. The boot fits like a glove, is light as a feather and bottom surfaces are prima cushioned by the sole, so that one even longer distances can go great in him. The insulation is not that the foot arg gets enough sweat. Only the exit from the liner requires some practice without taking him out of his boot. I would buy it again at any time!
