Super tacky sole, traction has been great. No issues thus far on waterproof performance as they’ve only been lightly broken in there. Typically wear a 10, sized up a full size with these and they fit like a gem. First pair of LS so after reading tons of reviews, a full size up is definitely the way to go and while my foot is not necessarily wide, I’ve had issues with narrow boots before, but these did not pinch middle of my feet whatsoever. Really no break in period whatsoever, super comfortable. Racked up 30+ miles on a few hikes with them so far and very pleased overall. Quality seems to justify the price which I’m more than happy to pay for, but long term durability will need to be revisited once I’ve logged some solid mileage.
