Awesome until I got wet.
By Medic 415
I have 2 pairs of these boots. They are super comfortable and supportive right out of the box without any need for a break in period. I may add a gel insole instead of the stock one and will now have to waterproof them though. On my 2nd hike in them I got wet walking 7 miles in slushy snow. I noticed about 2 hours in that the fabric on top was soaking up the water and after I got home realized it came all the way through. I doubt it was sweat based on the saturation, low temp outside and my not wearing very heavy socks. Would I buy them again. Yes. Would I like them to have real Gore-tex waterproofing. Yes.

Meh
By Amazon Customer
Decent boot but I like my Garmont GTX's better. These are not as warm but definitely warmer than an uninsulated hiking boot. Pretty comfortable too. They've kept my feet dry so far, but after 100 miles or so I'm noticing that the outer layer is starting to fatigue where my toes crease the boot. For me this is usually the first sign of impending doom in a boot as that's where the water usually first starts to come in. For what I paid for them ($90ish) I really can't complain as long as I get a full winter out of them. However, for a few dollars more, I've got some Garmont GTX's that have made it through two winters and still have plenty of life in them. I wear both types of boots for snowshoeing/winter peak bagging as well as working outside building houses in Northeast winters.

Extreme Comfort
By Rick@Pittsburgh
You can believe in the comfort and fit when you purchase this boot!. Did purchase Sof Sole insoles for this boot as with most boots or shoes that I have purchased in recent years.
Very short break in period. Use for work... (Heavy Equipment Operator)... they look like safety toe boots but are very light and warm... just enough... not too warm, which I like.
The one and only downside is that they are somewhat slippery on ice when new.
