great BOOT! I originally purchased the Tread 3 river shoes but they didn't have enough traction for my liking, and I needed more ankle support. I returned the booties and got the Workboot Wetshoes and they are nothing short of fantastic! They do run a little narrow as another customer stated, it would be nice if they expanded their width choices since not all feet are the same width! I wore these for the first time today on a 20 mile whitewater raft run, with the river up higher than normal and lots of technical class III's and tons of class IV rapids. These boots not only stayed put under the thwart, they provided most excellent traction in the river when putting in/taking out and the performance and comfort level was outstanding. My feet do not hurt and they were absolutely wonderful, I highly recomment these over any other river shoe.

great boot for boundary waters canoe trip I purchased this boot along with some .5 mil neoprene socks to use while canoeing and portaging in the boundary waters of MN. My ankles are pretty weak so I figured I needed the extra support from a boot. These boots fit really snug but only because I have narrow feet. If you have wider than normal feet I would not recommend these boots. They held up well and are extremely comfortable. A little care must be taken when putting them on and taking them off as they have a neoprene liner that fits really snug. My feet are 12.5s and I purchased the 13. It fit really snug, so I recommend getting a size bigger if you have any doubts. The ankle support was average but all in all a great boot for roughing it in wet conditions.
