Gutbomb, personally, after owning and trying hipsters, from boot foot felts to stocking foot syles, it never failed that if I was standing in my DRIVEWAY at home I'd somehow find "a hole" that was deep enough to allow water over the tops!
To me, "Hip boots are wet feet waiting to happen".
Also, if these "slip over your existing boots/shoes", I wonder about their rigidity and support for long hiking!?
