That was more than kind. I still wear various versions of Red Wing Irish Setters, have for years. The last pair I bought were a chuka style boot, because after nearly 50 years of doing it, I've learned I can simply turn around instead of finding out how deep the water is, and how far it will go over my boots. They may be the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned.
I also have a ten inch pair for when I know it is going to be wetter. And a set of Red Ball rubber boots, for when I find out the hard way it is going to be wetter.
Use the boots in good health.

Best,
Ted
