text: I wear these boots for work. Rather than buying some crazy expensive boot, I decided to buy these. They are pretty good. they squeak like hell when I walk and they NOT waterproof. Before these, I had the HQ brand. About 50 bucks less than these. Those are better boots than these. they fit better, waterproof, don't squeak when I walk, and they last a long time.  After 6 months of wearing these I finally realized these were a complete waste of money and no longer deserved my 3 star review. Now they get 1 star because $50 HQ brand boots are 100 times better than these. DO NOT BUY these.
