Why these boots? This boot is rugged, waterproof (I have tested in a stream) and especially warm. The build quality is very good, no popped seams, neither the inner shoe still on the outer side. Of course, one must not expect a delicate shoe with such a boots - these are thick Botten. For making all kinds of weather and terrain with. After use, simply scrub under running water with a scrubbing brush and is good. The only negative point - and why not 5 stars - it lacks the quick lacing so that the entry is a little uncomfortable. If you descend in it, then the boot is simply convenient, it expresses nothing, the foot is firmly seated and does not slip, although you have to toe the necessary freedom of movement. I bought the boots in my size and not larger a number. But fits perfectly even when wearing thick socks.
