This will be my 3rd season with mine and they're the best snake boots i've ever owned. The waterproofing isn't as good as it was when they were new but like others said, that usually wanes with time. They seriously fit like tennis shoes and they're super comfortable. Having said all that, i feel like the soles are made from some soft material that wears faster than normal hard rubber soles. Mine have lost most of the lugs on the bottom and I'm sure they'll be junk after this season. I do a lot of walking but i feel like the soles wore faster than they should. Nevertheless, i will be buying another pair. Great boots
