Great boot
Fantastic boot for the Scottish winter. Lightweight, but robust and waterproof. Only thing to be mindful of is the small fit.....recommend a half size up.

Try them on before committing to buying.
These boots are very well built and have some great features. My issue with these boots is the BOA lacing system. On the inside of the boot just above my ankles I could feel the BOA lace mechanism digging in through the padding of the boot. Tight or loose I could just not get these boots comfortable and wearing them became a painful experience. Despite the boots good features and high quality build this was an absolute show stopper for me and very frustrating as I now have a very expensive pair of boots which I struggle to use. A lot of online reviews rave about how comfortable this boot is. Unfortunately it just didn't seem to work for me. A real shame
What do you think about that?
