I ordered 2 pairs of the DS 14's as well.
I look forward to seeing how they are.

Thanks OP.

I am still waiting on mine to ship, as they said (we talked on the phone when I was concerned the ones I ordered were not waterprooof) they were at the warehouse last Friday morning but I still haven't received or see a tracking number on their web site....

I don't wear boots, MUST NOT CLICK MOUSE, MUST STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER...

btw this is just my wise azz way to say good deal astro

Thanks! Glad you guys are tearing this deal up. There are hardly any sizes left :)

I was a paramedic for 6 yrs and a cop for 4. My brother is still a cop (14 yrs) and ex US Army, and he swears by this brand.

how do you answer this?


easy...they either arent waterproof...or they are to a certain degree..

can you walk through a stream 4" deep and not have your feet get wet, can you walk in the rain and not have your feet get wet, etc etc...

I would think that waterproof would mean...your feet don't get wet period...but I guess if you walked in a 2 foot stream your socks would get wet...thus not truly waterproof?

plenty of companies advertise that their items are "waterproof" however anyone who has spent time in the woods, with said items knows that only some items are actually waterproof...others are just...waterproof if you spill some water on them, they can't actually stand up to hiking through streams and mud etc.

Thanks OP!



Size 15? Is that true or are you just trolling for dates and hope that impresses someone :)
If that shoe size thing is real then I feel sorry for the guy ordering the size 9 or 8.

Ordered mine on Friday (7/21), and it shipped yesterday (7/25) via UPS ground.

EDIT: btw, I did not know it had shipped until I received an e-mail from UPS today stating that it was scheduled for delivery today.

good deal, I bought one pair, paid for one pair for $19.99 + freeshipping via amex.

and guess what, they've shipped me two pairs, what at pleasant surprise!

Just got my size 11.5s. WOW, they are comfortable and definitely provide alot of support. I'm used to very tough/stiff boots. These things feel like pillows.
