I got these for work and it finally got cold here in Houston! I wore them all day for 5 days straight and my feet never hurt, not even on the first wear! I also had to walk on grass after it rained and no water seeped through. I'm a short at 5' tall and these boots came right below the knee but never hitting the back of my leg when I sat down. My work area is dirty and these are so easy to keep clean. Perfect boots!
