These boots are certainly waterproof and will keep your feet dry. I tried them for hiking in tall wet grass where my boots get consistantly soaked.
However, the fit is difficult to get used to as the inner laces start about 2 inches higher than a normal boot. As a result, you get a tight line across the top of your foot that feels like a poorly done steel toe cap digging into the top of your foot with every step. As much as I wanted these to work, they did not---just too uncomfortable.
