Are these boots actually waterproof?

Yes. The leather upper is seam-sealed, so rain and shallow puddles stay out. They are not meant for standing in deep water.

How do they fit compared with sneakers?

They run roomy, and many owners size down half a size. Thick socks can make your usual size work.

Expect a few weeks of stiff wear before the leather softens. Wearing them in short stretches speeds it up.

The outsole is stitched and cemented, so a cobbler can often replace it. That extends the boot's life well beyond the first sole.

They handle slush, rain and cold pavement well. The leather is not insulated, so very cold days call for thick socks.

The shaft is about 6 inches, which covers the ankle and sits below the calf.
