Came across these shoes and with the discount look to be a bargain anyone tried them or bought them.

Yes ademort, had mine over three years and wear them every winter. Very warm and good quality so far, got mine for around the same price so haven't changed much. I wear mine a size larger and with woolie boolies for warm and toasty feet!

Haven't worn them in much rain admittedly so I don't know about the ankle 'collar' letting in water or not, but overall very good value. Recommended.

Better value imo than spending at least twice that on Northwave Farenheits or Sidi Hydro.[/b]

I've had a pair for 3 winters that are still going strong. They do tend to fill up with water in a down pour- as do most boots. In the coldest (and rainy) weather I still put on overshoes on top, which really keeps your feet warm. As mentioned buy a size up as they are definitely on the small size.

Thanks giant mancp thats all i wanted to know. I,ve ordered a pair for that price if i can get three years out of them then they are well worth the money.

Know you have done the deed now, but I have some too, again about 3 years old. Done me very well and still going strong.
