text: Got these from the UK site, ordered a size US 10 and it comes as a UK9.. so definitely be aware of the sizing difference as noted in the other posts an adjust.<br />Had them about a month now - couple of good urban walks (1-2 hours) and basic country trails. No slipping on wet concrete or flat muddy paths.<br />Immersed them in puddle water up to about the halfway of the shoe - stayed dry inside. Didn't get the water up over the tongue of the shoe though. Feels like your feet will stay dry in heavy rain and puddles.<br />Main thing with these is the shoe feels very 'big' 'chunky' and 'firm' in the front  - under the ball of your foot and round the edge of your toes. The rear of the shoe (heel and ankle) feels very 'light' and the base of the shoe feels narrow under your heel.<br />Hard to describe but if heel/ankle support was important in your shoe then these shoes may be lacking in that area.<br />Looks good with jeans for casual town use and not feeling like your in hiking/backpacking mode. All in all pretty happy with them.
