I bought them because I live on a farm and love running in a meadow that is often covered with water. Either from the morning dew, or the last rain, or something else. They keep my socks from getting wet. I still like her.
Pros
Great shoes. Make running on a frozen lake fun. Stay warm and dry with regular thickness Smart Wool Socks.
Cons
Ugly and uncomfortable shoes. I sent them back and didn't get half of what I paid for. Very bad customer service.
