Is the Valsetz M waterproof?

Yes. The synthetic upper is listed as waterproof, though it uses no Gore-Tex membrane, so it breathes less than a membrane boot.

About 16 oz per shoe. That is heavier than most trail hikers, which is the trade-off for the tall shaft and support.

Does it come in wide sizes?

Yes. It is offered in D through EEEE widths, so broad-footed wearers have options most hiking shoes do not.

About 8 inches, giving ankle coverage closer to a tactical boot than a low hiker.

Lace it once and use the side zipper after that. The slip-on entry and zipper make daily on and off quick.

Not ideal. The waterproof build limits airflow, so it suits cool or wet conditions better than summer heat.
