These boots are not WATERPROOF!
These boots are not waterproof.
They don't leak water in, up to the height of the ankle. But from there up the water it leaks into the inside.
They have excellent traction with the ground and good construction materials.
But they are not comfortable after a long hiking. The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor are much more comfortable.

I used these boot for the first time, for an 8 hour hiking on rocky ground with many screes. The grip, the protection and stabilisation of the foot were excellent.
The handicaps were that a) there are internal stitches at the heel which caused me blisters, maybe I should have worn thicker socks and b) the weather was hot and my feet sweated a lot so I believe they are not breathable enough.
As far as sizing is concerned, I usually wear EU 41 shoes but my size at these boots was EU 42.
