I love these shoes. I run on the road, but it's narrow and heavy traffic often requires me to jump into the ditch or cut across the corner of a field. I like the support and stability these shoes give. The waterproofing was a major point for me and these shoes have fully satisfied that need.
My only quibble is that the zippered cover over the laces makes lacing/unlacing a bit of a hassle. I wish there were 2 zippers, one on each side, for easier access to the laces; but that might compromise the waterproofing, so I can't complain too much.
I got what I wanted from these shoes and would buy them again if I had it to do over.
