It’s always a risk to buy shoes online but these shoes fit pretty well. The only adjustment I needed was to buy a higher quality insole, which I do for most shoes. I haven’t had them for long enough yet to comment on durability or waterproofing but so far I like them. I wore them for several hours just after getting them and when I took them off I realized that I had not noticed that I was wearing new shoes, so that is always a good sign.
