Would water get in through the side zip, say if walking in long wet grass? Obviously I don't mean standing in puddles, bcz that is obvious...

I would say yes as they are not waterproof, would probably also get in through the lace up area

They are rubbish. Don't bother.

what sole protection is there

Hi John, As per the product information there is no midsole protection in the Akron boot. Kind Regards DEWALT Workwear UK
