OK had to come into this. These are not as fancy or as expensive as you guy's shoe's, BUT, I like them. Had these a year now and trekkin over mountain terrain, creeks, rocks, MUD, they work well for a everyday boot Brahma steel toed, waterproof,oil-resistant skid resistant,. The only thing that happened was, it was the last pair in my size on sale and no more coming in. I got them home, went straight to the creek to check out how waterproof they were, and one oiled right up and no water stayed on it, dry. The other one turned dark, got wet outside, not in side and stayed wet. Took them back the next day and they said they have no more, can't get more and nothing can be done. So I got a canof weather proof and sprayed the heck out of them and let dry. I now have 2 different color boots, one dark brown and 1 a little lighter, but you really can't tell it. they are not heavy on the feet, support the ankles and I do not get tired of wearing them.
