Worn less than a dozen times bc I don’t hike or walk in proper conditions but I get massive compliments every time I swear them. Lightening my load. Forever pair of quality wellies/wellington. British heritage. Better than American made in this case. Nothing wrong just don’t use and lightening load. Feel free to ask any questions. I am 8.5/9 in US brands and these give me a tiny bit of room to weak thick socks. Lifetime investment. Holland Cooper is quintessential British brand w years of craftsmanship.
