The durable textured surface is impervious to dust, grit and dog hairs and also resistant to grease and oil. It fits the boot perfectly when the boot floor is in the lower position (I have the space saver spare) and I'm very pleased with it. If you're looking for a totally waterproof boot, then get one with a membrane, but don't expect it to last too long, especially if you want lightweight boots. That said, when moving fast in hot weather one can very easily overload the membrain, pumping out more moisture through your feet than can get out – that means sweaty feet.

And by reducing the layers you can create space for including inserts such as rock plates for gnarly paths, or impact absorbing insoles for road walking. Both Justin and I love these boots as a stylish barefoot winter boot that can be worn under dress pants, with jeans, or even leggings and skirts.After a week now of constant rain or wet roads when I remove my boot the smell of wet dog is overwhelming.
