Currently using them, seem fairly comfy, definitely waterproof so far having worked several weeks in the rain with dry feet at the end of the day

Do you treat the boots with waterproof stuff or just leave as they are?

Nice boots comfortable laces are poor and take a while to break in

For about 3 weeks I was convinced they were the worst boots I’d ever owned, my heals were in bits and they wouldn’t soften up. 18 months later I’m totally changed, so long as you look after the leather with proper boot wax mine have lasted great. I’d say they’re probably 70/30 climbing/ground and once they bed in they’re nice and light, and the soles are nice and narrow for climbing in. Nearing the end of their life now but if they make it to 2 years I will definitely buy more!

Haven't treated them but probably will if I get round to getting some boot care products.

I’ll take a look on net for some good quality boot wax before I start using them, I’ve not got any climbing jobs at the moment so I’ll wear them on the ground.
