madmonday - What size do you where so I can get idea of scale?

[sergedenimes]

Can anyone comment on the waterproof ability of the hunt boot? Could you walk through a small stream with them and have dry feet?

[madmonday]

size 8 seawolf, but if you have any real fit concerns send a pm/email to Mr. Oak Street.  He's very helpful

& sorry for the delay in responding, i'm not subscribed to the thread & didn't see your question until i was trolling through looking at different items

^ I like that second pair of boats a lot. I think they're more versatile than the first pair. I just wish they made large sizes.

Wow.  That is what I was looking for G!  They really do mold to your feet!

thanks for the image SpaceGnome.
