I bought these shoes for a hiking/skiing vacation in Idaho and they worked above and beyond I have worn them in the snow I have walked through small streams and my feet remain dry the grip on the bottom of the shoe is fantastic I don’t think I have slipped once since coming back from Idaho I have hiked many trails and put many hours on the shoes and I will not hesitate to buy another pair as a matter of fact I liked them so much I bought my son a pair and he also loves them my only knock On these shoes is if you wear thin socks you are going to need A comfort insole but if you wear a thick sock it won’t be necessary issue like this usually cost around $150 these were a steel for $30 , I am very happy with them
