These boots look really great visually from u. Were also really comfortable. Unfortunately, my daughter had the first few days of rain immediately totally feet wet (and really soaking wet) despite Rieker-Tex (ie at least water resistant). She then carried in the snow again u. It was again the same way. I have the boots exchanged u. Thanks to the generous customer reaction Amazon now reimbursed the amount. For this price I really had promised me something better. Therefore, I can not recommend this boot.
