“I bought these as an early Christmas pressie for myself. I'm planning to use them as a lightweight "combo" boot for a variety of purposes including wet wading a local dam and for wearing on some longer walks where I need to cross shallow streams and boggy areas but need more a comfortable hiking boot with neoprene socks rather than a full on wading boot with chest waders etc (I've already got a pair of boots that I use for that purpose)
So far so good - I wear a 10.5 UK size and ordered the size 13 which were too big so had them changed (with no fuss) to the size 12 and they work great with the neoprene socks I wear. very comfy, lightweight (so am planning to take with me to the NT next year hopefully for some flats/shallows fishing).
These will be ideal for wet wading the rivers in NZ during summer when I can get back there at some stage - not a cheap boot but similar price point to this quality brand and product and I'm expecting to get a lot of use out of them for many years so happy with the investment.
I've worn them once on a trip locally and caught fish so I can attest they work ....”
