UPDATE :  After a few months, I drastically changed my view on these shoes. For the first few months they did well, but after a couple of months, they are no longer waterproof and let water in even when walking on wet grass which is ridiculous. There is no damage to the shoes, so it's something innate to the material used.   Would NOT recommend for somebody looking for waterproof shoes.  ===Original Review=== Was looking for a pair of comfortable waterproof shoes that are not as high as waterproof boots and would be comfortable enough to wear for long walks with the dog. So far, I have worn these for a couple of weeks and have tested them out in the rain and on extremely wet soil/grass, and my feet have stayed absolutely dry. Your feet also don't get tired in these and they are actually comfortable enough to wear as an everyday shoe. Quality seems to be good, they are really warm and offer good toe protection.  The fit was actually a little too big. I normally wear 10.5, and I considered ordering a size 11 because another review mentioned that they are smaller than most 10.5 shoes. I found the opposite to be true, maybe Columbia changed the size, but these 10.5 are actually just a bit bigger than I am used to. If you wear 10.5, I would suggest getting a size 10, unless you plan to wear them with thick socks.  Overall, happy with my purchase. I can't vouch how long they will last, but so far they seem to absolutely be worth the money.
