Boots look amazing and are very light weight. It is also excellent for water protection. However within a few months the rubber at the front ripped off from the seems and the finger hook at the back tore. Now the boot is no longer waterproof and my socks get wet. Very unfortunate, especially given the fact that the boot looks the best I have seen in the market. Highly suggest that Rockport improve the quality of this boot without Changing anything else.
