These boots are fantastic and made very very well. The attention to detail is excellent they may look bulky and heavy but they are really light on your feet but with the rugged look. They are 400g in insulation so they are very warm on your feet and waterproof yes sir they are. To me these are very good winter boots very well made to combat snow or rain they won't disappoint you. I'm so happy that ARIAN · thenorthface.com

Love these boots. I personally appreciate that Oboz make a non-waterproof mid. In Colorado it rarely rains long enough to justify wearing waterproof all the time! I have found that the DWR coating on the shoes is more than enough for an afternoon thunder storm! Overall the fit is great. I am a 13 and my width is a C width and they fit perfect. I will say that these fit different than the old sawto Stephen N · backcountry.com
