I like the company a lot. I have other pairs that have lasted for years. He's in particular though feel tighter than usual, and there is no breathing room so you will be very sweaty wearing these. They seem well made to protect against any rain (hence the lack of oxygen/breathing feel.) It also has cushioning inside the shoe so that you won't feel every step you take as well as top cushioning which would help in colder weather. The elastic piece makes the shoe a little bit tighter than expected but this is a rain boot. It is also on the heavier side but that doesn't bother me for weather boots but good to know for travel.<br />The biggest flaw with this design is that the back of the ankle was design with ridges which I am uncertain as to why and he's not question well enough so that you feel every step take pushing against the back of your ankle which will likely cause blisters when wearing for long periods at a time. Unfortunately, these will most likely feel uncomfortable anytime you wear it and I will probably have to return these for the lower ankle cut.
