I use these, from Hoggs of Fife regularly, as heavy duty "4wd" shoes and no, the flaps are not an affectation, they are a very useful part of keeping one's feet drier and free of bits of heather and stuff finding their way into the shoe. I am not a fan of lace up boots, so its either these or wellingtons for my more strenuous country pursuits. I highly recommend them.
