What company manufactured those?

@AlexSDU

The only thing that bother me is that the sole can be a lil' bit slippery when it wet, especially is it in contact with metal surface( like car gas pedal & ship deck) or tiled floor.

Bought mine last November, except that mine is NOT GORE-TEX type, but Temperate Weather type.

So far the boots haven't fail me yet, in preventing water from sap in the boots. And I'm living in a tropical climate area, which rain is more often. I usually walk through water puddles as if I'm walking on dry land, and my feet stay dry.

that was some rough terrain. glad you made it through!

Are they that lightweight really? How much do they weight?

Yep. Last winter in romania we had some pretty harsh months. Used them all day long(8-12hours) in snow and, in the evening, my feet were never damp. You have to take into consideration that these boots are "temperate" type, so if you'll stay still for a while, your feet will get cold pretty quick.
