I also bought them last week. They are the best compromise off/on road, very stable, good protection and you can still walk in them quite fine.
They are noise when walking, but I am not bothered with that.
I used them in the rain, and they are waterproof. After off road riding i washed dry mud off them with high pressure water machine and they stayed dry.
High speed stream crossing made my legs little wet, but only because water came in from the top.
I dont like the buckling system, because I need to use both hands, not only one.
