LowaMen Trekking & Hiking Boots, 8 UK

Slightly small when worn with thick socks. Go up .5 of a size. Comfortable from the very 1st day and completely waterproof.

I've been using Lowa boots for years and find them absolutely superb

These boots are really disappointing.I get wet toes from walking in wet grass because they are not waterproof where the side of tongue meets the leather of the boot and at seam at the base of the tongue below the laces. Water seeps down onto the top of my toes and it’s a miserable experience, I’ve sworn by Lowa boots for decades but these are simply poorly constructed rubbish.You pay a premium for comfort and quality, these are only marginally more watertight than a pair of crocs.

Nice boots. Recommend!
