I live on a countryside in Scotland so the weather can be unpredictable. I came back home from a wee walk in the forest 30 minutes ago. To get your understanding of the ground I explored with the shoes: I was walking in the orchard yard to pick up crab apples and wild rose for tincture, I was on the farm to see animals, I walked up and down the hills on the forest ground and all the time I was feeling very comfortable in the shoes. The shoes are waterproof, like wellington shoes, and comfy as trainers. I really hope that these will last long as now, they are my favourite boots.
