I love these boots -- comfortable from the moment I first put them on & without running as large as so many brands of hiking boots do on my feet. I wear a women's 10.5M, and they're right on the money. They have been constantly tested in snow & mud since I got them, and not a drop of water has leaked into them. Finding great boots has been such a challenge at times that when I find good ones, I get a 2nd pair for keeping in the car for impromptu outings. I was lucky enough to find these on sale at REI the 1st time, and then was able to snap up another sale pair from them several weeks later. These can be resoled with new Vibram soles. I've never resoled boots before, so I can't comment on how well that works. In theory, though, I like being able to extend the life of anything I buy & like.Pros: Everything!Cons: Not a thing!
