No puddles but some rain and general wet ground.

EDIT ("some rain" = it was raining on and off throughout the day but I spent most of the day inside)

Hmm most peculiar.  My son has been living in his balmorals and he is a history student walking to college daily in London (and it does tend to rain most days here) with only praise for the boots. My boots same, all dry. So I can only think there might be a fault, pm me and let's resolve this.

Yeah, I was thinking a British boot should be able to deal with some rain.

PM sent.

They can stand rain, but don't you guys fish through ice? I hear stepping in those holes can be leathal.

At times people go for a dip in the larger holes as well. But usually without boots on.
