I would buy these again
First impression is of how extremely durable they are built but that is coupled with a fear of how long it will take to break in. Considering how stiff and rigid these felt out of the box I could not believe how well they fell into shape once I put it on. I have yet to test the waterproofing. I no worries that these will survive abuse from crampons, sharp rocks, etc.
