Heavy boots.
They fit a size above in my opinion and they get heavy at the end of the day after working on your feet all day. They are great in wet weather and keep my feet dry. The down sides are you should get inserts right away and they get hot in the summer so plan ahead and bring socks to work. Good luck out there.
Thank you for your feedback

1.0 out of 5 stars 200$ Garbage
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2023
I bought these boots because of 2 reasons. The name brand and waterproof. Well after wearing them approximately 250 times they are falling apart. That may seem like a lot of days but you can see the leather is still good however the soles are falling off.

I’d expect for that amount of money and brand recognition they would still be good.

Don’t buy them.
