I've worn these shoes for about a week, taking it on hikes and walking in the rain. These shoes kept my feet warm and dry. I like the design. They are especially suitable for walking. My two complaints are a) the shoelaces seem strangely thin and wimpy. and b) these should fit me but are too tight on the sides. I normally wear an 11.5 wide. I ordered just 11.5 and regret it. If you normally wear wide and think a regular size will be fine, think again.
