Wait till it rains hard then see if boots are waterproof?Have tried pairs from $130 - $570 but rain eventually wins over boots that are now commonly made in China.Ended up buying a pair of $40 spool over boots(similar to rain off overgloves).Never had a problem since in heavy rain.No matter how expensive boots are,or quality of leather,it can only soak up so much before letting water through.

The width of the boots are a standard fit. So if you fit most boots, you should fit ours.
They can be a little stiff to get on when new but they do wear in. Cheers.

i have a pair of 1tonne boots and i have real wide feet. cant wear jandals because my paddles hang over the edges wide. there are only a few sorts of running shoes i can use because my feet are so wide. i find the 1tonne boots pretty good, they did take a few wears before they were stretched out properly and i still get a slight ache if i have them on for too long but i've found them good value overall.

Hi. Yes we have found that people with very wide feet can have a problem but as you have noticed they do stretch. Cheers.

Howzit > gunrunner... sorry with the lately pics... these are my hubbys pair, he`s selling them on Trademe @the mo`. As for `how wide` - his are sz 9s -and were a good fit. Youre best bet is to take the advice of the kber > atothek who has the same prob as you. My hubbys only selling these cos our kids gave him a pair of HD boots for xmas other than that he was sweet with these, Im still using mine.

Postive customer comment re 1tonne boots. Recently replaced by 4 year old pair which had done their job in an off but sadly where no longer waterproof.
Got a different style pair, prompt delivery but regrettably they had a manufacturing defect and a front panel on one boot parted company within a week.
Solution: Rang 1tionne and no fuss or bother replacement pair on the way the same day.
Great customer service people.
Well, this is awkward...
Bugger, just noticed one of mine has a tiny crack in the leather where the bend from foot to toe runs (?).
I've had them for a couple of years now and probably haven't looked after them all that well.
Even so they were waterproof in the rain last Saturday.
