I gambled a bit on these as the price was very low compared to like products available at sporting goods stores.
I use these for river fishing. They held up very well the first time that I used them this past weekend. About 5 hours in the water with no leaks.
I am 6, 1 and 215 lbs and normally wear a size 12 shoe, so I ordered the size 12. These are 12 on the dot; I did expect a little more room in the boot, would probably go with a 13 if I order again. The overall fit is good, fairly snug when bending down but you dont want to swim in your waders when moving through the water. The extra/wide shoulder straps are good, belt is good, and the wader hanger (for storing) is an additional value. The front pocket is fairly small, okay for my cell phone license but dont plan on putting any gear in there. Traction in a very rocky stretch of river was really good, overall comfort of the boots is just so/so. I will probably add some type of insole or cushion from my hunting boots or muck boots to help with that.
Overall, for the money these seem to be really well/made for the price and a great value compared to or a like manufacturer that youd find in a sporting goods retailer.
Better than I expected
