Are these true to size?

Sizing is inconsistent. Some buyers find them too big and others too short, so check the size chart and consider ordering your usual size with room to spare.

No. The upper is water resistant at best and the shoe is not waterproof, though it dries quickly.

Do they need breaking in?

No. Owners report they are comfortable from the first wear.

What is the heel drop?

Zero drop, so the heel and forefoot sit at the same height.

Are they good for running?

They suit short runs and natural-form running, but the thin sole and moderate cushioning give little support for long distances.

One pair of boots with laces. No insoles or extras are included.
