I bought these boots from Fishtec for my birthday last December 2009 for £39.99. Iv'e used these extensively for nearly a year.
I got a size 10, but wish I could get a 10 and a half, which they don't do!! The Neo lining tends to squash your toes a bit, but saying that you don't need thick socks on, even when it's cold and there's ice in the margins.
I use mine in conjuction with bib and brace trousers and ususally stand in the water. Because of the neoprene, you don't get the leeching effect of losing body heat from your feet and don't feel how cold the water is.
The boots are fitted with a calf strap and quick release buckle lock. Self cleaning sole and steel shank insert, making the boot quite durable.
The only critisisms I have are, No half sizes, because of the neo fill in the boot. No boot bumper on the heel, to kick the boots off, which means you end up pulling with your hands, or invest in a boot jack? Iv'e also lost the cotton cover off one of the Neoprene insoles, which just peeled away.
Overall, a good boot which is let down slightly, by inadequacies in design and function. Would I recomend these to anyone? Yes I would, because I love having warm feet.
Best Regards
Stuart
