The water resistance of the shoe is definitely over sold, my feet stayed dry for just over a week walking through wet grass every morning. By the second week I was giving my buddy crap who recommended them to me. Aside from the water issue-the shoes are not comfortable at all, there’s no padding, no comfy insole, I’d rather where combat boots as far as comfort goes. Bottom line- ALOT of money, when you could by 3 pairs of water resistant shoes for the same price and be better off.
