The way I look at it, no boots are waterproof, so I just forget about that requirement. Only other requirement is that they don't slip, so it's got to be docs. I get them in plenty of time, wear them with two pairs of socks for about an hour a day, then have a few days off for my feet to recover, then do it again to break them in carefully.

Not a lot of wear on those soles.. how old are they and how much wear and tear have those shoes got now?
I have no idea, the images were borrowed from eBay, they are not RM issue, just the same unit without RM labeling.

Docs are great once you break them in just order them in before they're needed so you have time to break them. Wear them round the house at home after work for a couple of hours a day, after a week or so they will be fine.
