bought a pair of these three years ago after taking up walking again. They did let in a lot of water but that was probably due to walking through Irish bogs. Used then to climb many of the higher peaks in the Lakes along with Snowdon. However, after using them over the summer in the Cairngorms and Ben Nevis the stitching stared to come apart and the waterproof lining also ripped. Probably to be expected after three years wear and I doubt these are meant to be used on the higher peaks. A good boot if you are sticking to marked trails and not doing much scrambling.
