Review on Men'S Waterproof Backpacking Boots For The Outdoors by Joe Nieves

. don't know if the mns 9 would have fit better, but the 10 is a bit big

I don't know if the mns 9 would have fit better, but the 10 is a bit big, and after the insulation packs down a bit I may be sloshing in them. I wear a mns 9.5, but they said order up. It used to be that the oriental sizes were way small, now it seems they have swung too far the other way. Swung way the other way or Feng Shui, it doesn't matter, just make them to the approximate US size. These things make my feet look huge, almost comical. Bozo's shoes weren't much smaller. So yeah, they will work with a couple pair of socks, but won't keep me from tripping over my own feet. These things are gunboats compared to my old pair, just missing the turrets. Other than that, great, nice construction, great quality for the price. Just don't fall for the "order up" deal if you are close to your size, they don't do half sizes. I got a deal on these, so I don't think they will take a return, that being said, I will wear them around the yard and I know I will never be wet or cold, just swimming in them. I haven't actually worn them yet, I tried one on, and although very comfy, I know they will pack down, and be like wearing my dad's boots(when I was 5 years old) but what can I do after I got them for so cheap and the delivery was botched so bad. They (amazon logistics) threw them into the yard out the window into the neighbors driveway, I only noticed because I was expecting them. Then they drove off and almost ran me over doing twice the speed limit down my road. Wrong address delivery, and a bad one (to boot). Anyway, they cut me a deal, and I really don't mind that they don't fit. I won't use them that much anyway, #1 because the weather here is usually not that bad, and if it is, I'm not in it very long anyway, unless I fall over my really big boots and freeze to death in the driveway. Which I haven't totally ruled out.

Pros
  • Very warm I wear them all the time in the snow lol or should I say when it snows. They are warm
Cons
  • The boots aren't great for cold weather or extreme temperatures
