text: These are by far the most comfortable boots and very well built.  I bought these in August 2014 for a planned 9 day archery wilderness drop camp elk hunt at 11,500+ feet in mid-September....it got cold but feet were warm until it rained on day three and my feet got wet.  I didn't walk in any creeks or deep puddles so I may have just got the lemon pair.  The grasses were very wet and I did not have gaiters which I think would have helped greatly to keep the water off the tongue.  I like these so much I might take a chance and buy another pair for the same planned 2015 trip.  The great thing about these boots is I have NEVER got blisters in them even when my feet were wet unlike my previous Danners and very expensive Cabelas brands.  I wear a 10 and if I buy another pair they will be 10.5 as my toes did push hard up against the toe box on the downhills.  I did add a lot of waterproof sealant to my current pair which I'll take for backups and I would add scent free waterproofing to the new pair.
