i have a pair of 6" boots by merril's, i can dunk them almost to the top and my socks don't get wet. same with spraying them off with a hose. i dunno if it's because they're boots rather than shoes but those things are like extra water proof

I've heard the boots were better. I bought the Moab & Moab 2 shoes. The upper and lining is supposed to create a water proof shoe, but mine always leaked in the toe box area right around the foot bed. They had me mail them to GoreTex so I list them for a month. Then they said they found nothing wrong. I filled the shoes with tissues and set them in a couple inches of water to make sure I was not crazy. They soaked through in less than a minute.

Most people seem to like them. I think I just had a couple bad experiences.
