I still wear them. I will probably get a new pair to go along with the Oboz. I do recommend them. They are comfortable straight out of the box, they last well, my 2 pairs are 4 and 5 years old. The older pair has just worn down on one heel so now relegated to gardening duties.
In my original post I tried to make it clear that they only started to get a bit damp after 8 hours of constant sloshing around in the wet. They are super value for money.
I have been using them for probably 15 years, the design has changed little.....minor changes to the uppers, now a sole that grips better in the wet BUT no change to the fit so I am very happy to buy over the internet.
