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.

What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Using the boot mostly for hiking and scrambling in wet conditions I've yet to have a problem with them causing hot spots or blisters.
The only thing that I don't like about these boots is how thin the laces are. They don't feel very strong, but the do secure the boot around the foot when fastened properly
