I love mine, but they squeak a tad bit. Many times all they need are a creek crossing and are quiet as a church mouse after that.
If you cover a lot of country fast they are incredible, I would say next to my running shoes these things haul "you know what" better than anything else out there. I have run after pigs, run to cut them, get ahead of deer, and of course hurried to get into position before others got my "spot" on public land.
I screwed up and got mine a tad too small, at the time they were ok but I have been a running fool since and my feet got a tad wider, and now they are too tight for all day down hill hunting. But I still wear them for day hunts because they are dry as a bone and good for hurrying.
