Super comfortable. Great looks. However, on the first day I thought it was dust on the boot. I tried to wipe it away. nope Later, after carefully examining the dirt, it wasn't dirt. The fabric is grey. I must have walked through the dew on my lawn. Here a few months later they are still very comfortable and have faded evenly but not to this beautiful blue which gave them a slightly sophisticated look. They're too faded for anything but super casual. Did they have to be waterproofed?
