Timberland boots - first findings

Of the three boots tried so far, this is definitely the least waterproof. The grass was quite wet this morning due to overnight rain, and that was enough for dampness to start to come into the sole at the toes, and crossing a shallow ford where the water got to the top of the sole made it worse. None of the three are perfect for being waterproof, but I would have expected better from a new boot.
