After trying nearly every boot out there I am extremely happy to have found these. Having narrow low volume feet and being an outdoorsman is not a happy situation; however, these boots make it better. I was looking for an all leather boot that I could use 3 seasons, that would keep my feet warm in the snow, dry in the rain, and be tough enough for the Smokey Mountains. I don't have a ton of miles on them yet due to the hot and humid weather. I have worn them everyday to work for about two weeks walking up and down steps and from building to building. I also have taken them to the local park for a couple 2-3 mile hikes. Trying to walk up all the steep hills to test out the fit. Even on one the these hikes, I got caught in a summer rain storm. The New Balance 1500 are no doubt waterproof. I was soaked to the bone but my feet were dry. These boots are quickly becoming my favorite pair of shoes. I had a lot of problems with the tongue (which is the only bad part of these boots) at first, but being very pleased with the fit on the rest of the boot I took a chance. The seam is the whole problem; just too much material is sown together at one spot. Here is how you can fix it. Take a hammer and some hard (block of wood will work) and just beat the mess out of the seam. Works just fine now. It is still a stupid design. For being an all leather boot they do breathe very well. I will not lie; my feet do sweat in them however no more than my Asolo's that were leather and fabric combo. They have toe protection however a little more would be great. Not a big deal. I would suggest getting a good set of insoles. The ones that come with the boots are about as cheap as they come. Come on, New Balance, you can put better insoles than these. Overall, I am very pleased so far. Compared to other name brands with the same features the price is great. I only gave them 4 stars because of the tongue problem and lack of quality insoles.
