None of them I have found have soles(especially heels) that wear like they used to.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

I bought lacrosse trapline waders 2 years ago. First pair leaked right out of the box. Sent those back for warranty. New pair seems better so far, been using them this year. They do keep you warm. Almost too warm if the temp is over 25 and you have to do any walking out of the water. My LaCrosse waders are seeping in already ...New last summer When these start leaking I am going to look into other options.

I've had good luck with the Lacrosse hip boots with 600 grams of thinsulate. AK waters are always cold. Used mostly for fishing. I'll buy them again.

I bought a pair of dans hip boots a few weeks ago. so far no leaks or punctures and i have been through some briars while trapping rats and beavers. cant seam to keep them up all the way even with adjusting the belt strap, have to keep pulling them up, might have to figure out a suspender type set up. i got tired of the cheap ones leaking immediately, I could have just worn sneakers and would have been just as "dry" as wearing the cheap hip boots

LaCrosse... founded in 1897... they've been doing something right IMO. Not lately. Since they moved manufacturing to China, it is very hit or miss.
