Satyen: somehow missed out on your query.
The shoes are still going strong and I use them almost everyday. The 'water resistance' is 'water resistance' and not 'water proofing'. Moderate rains and/or splashes while riding were handled quite well by both Picus and I-bis. Falco has an elasticized band near the ankles on both sides of the shoe and elastics cannot be made water-impermeable.

Check out what I've written above. The shoes have not given any four of us any problems whatsoever till date. Seem good value for money.

Anirudh: I have not faced any special problems while wearing shoes with thick soles and I have always worn thick soled shoes.
