Here are some statements addressing frequently asked questions about the NRS Boundary Boots:

"Are these sturdy and comfortable enough to hike in?"

My wife and I went on three hikes with these boots. They performed well on flat terrains and kept our feet dry up to the knee. However, they lack arch and ankle support, which becomes noticeable on inclines and rocky trails. Adding insoles helped improve arch support without compromising the boot's ability to grip large rocks. Overall, they are suitable for light trails with sandy or muddy terrains, but modifications such as insoles and ankle braces are recommended for rockier terrains.

"How stiff is the ankle? Can I use them for kayak fishing without impeding my pedaling motion?"

I purchased these boots for my two-seater boat and found the ankle flexibility to be perfect. They do not impede pedaling motion and are ideal for kayak fishing in cool weather.

"Are these boots marking? Will they leave marks if used on a fiberglass sailboat?"

These boots have not left any marks on my kayak, indicating that they should be safe to use on a fiberglass sailboat as well.

"I wear a size 10 and a half. Would a size 10 fit with socks and pants inside, or should I go for a size 11?"

I wear a size 10 shoe and a size 10 Boundary Boot, and they are true to size. However, if you prefer additional room, especially for wearing extra socks, you may be happier with a size 11. The neoprene top of the boot allows for flexibility and can accommodate pants and socks inside.
