Most boots are made with foam junk rubbers, I can’t get more then 6-7 months of steady use out of a pair. I quit buying the spendy stuff and embraced the cheaper stuff for 1/2 the price as none of them hold up that long.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I have a pair of frog toggs I picked up 5 or 6 years ago for under $40 that are still going strong, but I don't care for how narrow the footprint is. They don't offer much support and sink into the mud/snow pretty good because of the narrow footprint.
I'll be watching this thread as I'd like to upgrade this year. I have a pair and I sweat so bad In them I'm just about as wet as If I wasn't wearing them.

lacrosse trapline i have been getting 2 seasons out of them i use them for duck hunting and trapping Thanks for the responses guys. I've run frogg toggs in the past for fishing and they leaked right pretty quick. I'm really hard on footwear and waders tho. Mushfoot, how warm are those traplines? I don't quite understand how the wool liners is set up on those.

I don't quite understand how the wool liners is set up on those. I find them very warm. Plain jeans and those I was fine in water with temps down into the single digits. Above 20, I started to sweat in them.

Just got a pair of frogtoggs and they leaked first time in the water. I used a pair of non insulated frogg toggs for 3 years before they leaked and that was because I punctured them with a 330 trigger wire. Yes my water is cold but any insulated boots have failed by a snag in first short while. Line John's and will socks work fine. I can buy frogg toggs for less than other boots.only thing indont like is the tread on the boots. Not much traction.
Wish I had more time to trap....

I had a Amish guy build me a pair very similar to these. Custom fit boots and uppers glued together. Very comfortable and lightweight. I abused them for a month last season. Will never but LaCrosse again.
