What customers say:
The Upland Boots are praised for their comfort, durability, and convenient lacing system. They are described as lightweight and suitable for all-day use in adverse conditions. However, some customers found the boots to be too wide and loose, even when sizing down. Additionally, a few customers felt the boots were not as warm as expected for the price. Opinions on the newer version of the boots were mixed compared to the previous model.

Size Purchased: 10 1/2

Doesn’t stay water-resistant
Size Purchased: 12
