Wore these on a recent trip to England and Ireland. Quite comfortable. I tied the laces in a knot, to give the boot more walking around support. If you don't do that, your foot will fatigue when walking distances. With ankle socks, I walked the cliffs of Moher for 3 hours and these boots got me through some slippery stretches. They aren't hiking boots though. Wish I'd added an insert - that would help with fatigue, because there isn't true arch support. The lining is comfortable and comes up over the rubber so the rubber doesn't rub - unlike my prior duck boots. H the lining and rubber are quite warm. Good for Ireland, bad for the plane ride back. The leather stretches and gets soft - breaks in nicely. So if they are tight going on, initiative, they will loosen up. All in all, a very good rain boot.

I get more compliments on these boots than any other shoe I own. They prevent me from slipping, I can walk anywhere in snow and ice and rain and I won't fall. When it is snowing I just wear a big boot sock to keep my ankles warm, and it is great! I definitely recommend to all of my friends because they really are very comfortable and stylish!
