Fabrics that are waterproof are impenetrable by water, while water resistant materials are able to absorb some moisture before you feel wet.
Water repellent is better than reistant as its usually been coated with something
-
All waterproof boots have been tested to a certain level. Usually the more expensive the boot the better the quality of testng and higher the rating. They are made from different fabrics which are designed to keep your feet dy. Just don’t let water in the top.
