A pair of excellent boots for cold conditions. I bought them from Fierce Turtle after reading the recommendation. Mine were used on a level 4 training & Leg 6 of 17/18 - North Pacific and they were perfect; I completely forgot I had them on. Grip was first class and the gaiters did as well as anyone else's keeping water out. The first mate had a pair he'd had for 6/7 years of heavy sailing and they looked like mine (i.e. they wear well)! Highly recommended if you're doing a cold, wet leg - 3 or 6, or going RtW
My shoe size is 9.5/10 in UK, and these fitted well. You need to be sure you fit these with a couple of pairs of socks on, so recommend visiting a shop and determining your size before you buy.
