How waterproof are the new boots? 

During the summer I had the chance to test the "waterproofness" of my new walking or country boots.  Here's a video.  It was recorded in slow motion so that I could have a good look at how close the water came to the top, so you may want to switch to x2 for viewing.

They turned out to be perfectly watertight.  Obviously after a while the water would begin to soak into the leather, and going in too deep would overtop them, as there's no drawstring at the top to prevent it. That's why I moved slowly, testing the depth at each step with my thumbstick.

But altogether I'm very happy with them.
