Used these actually in winter... Did not get cold or anything and feet were completely dry wanted a boot that looked more like a shoe and i found the perfect pair... the Vibram soles are rugged and are a big plus! Awesome shoes
Being a family that owns many pairs of Merrell hiking shoes I was not surprised how excited my son was when Santa brought him a new pair. After spending our only snowstorm this year camping with the Boy Scouts his old pair were soaked all the way thru. He tells me they are quite comfy and so far his usual dragging of his feet through dew covered grass has not yeilded wet socks. Other than sneakers these are the only shoes on his feet.

I got this boot specifically for some quality hiking in the Appalachians and it has been great for all of the rainy afternoons. It has kept my feet solidly dry for quite some time but the one gripe I *could* possibly have is for a mid-height version.
Its really comfortable and keeps my feet dry. The only issue for me is it kinda squeezes my toes, but I have a wide toebox so I dont think most people would have this prob.
"Second pair purchased for my hubby. This pair is waterproof!"

Loved the first pair so he decided he wanted a second. durable, good looking and comfortable. This new pair is supposed to be more weather proof for winter. He works outside so needs a good shoe.
