I can recommend those, too. I tested the SIDIŽs beacause of their "look",
too, but another problem of them is, that they are sooo huge, that you
canŽt put your trouser over them. So youŽll always have to stop in the rain
and put on an additonal rain-trouser (in case your regular trouser is
waterproof this is a real handicap).
Additionally you can walk some meters (kilometers ?) in these boots without
getting tired while my foot started to ache in the SIDIŽs in the shop, yet !
Of course, protection is not as complete as in the SIDIs ...
Bye,
