Just returned from morning walk with the dogs and my feet are wet, these boots were water proof for 7 months, but not now.  Here are the water protection performances that I've found:  Cabella - 3 years, LL Bean - 1 year (first pair lasted 1 month, returned and second pair 1 yr.)  Keen - 2 years, Teva - 7 months.  I am going back to Cabella.
