are they *really* waterproof, or just water-resistant? the sides look like they have mesh panels on them, which would make them not waterproof in my book.

Thank you, Angus. I tried to mark your answer as "helpful" but the thumbs-down updated instead. Unintentional! Sorry about that.

Waterproof sure, buy eventually the membranes in boots wear out and water will pass through. Not necessarily a terrible thing as water will pass out more easily.

They're really waterproof. They do have mesh panels, under which is a Gore-Tex membrane that keeps water out.
