I have a pair of the pull on style from Cabelas. Compared to my red balls they leave something to be desired. The red balls are about 20 years old and though the bottom lugs are a bit worn they are doing well. The cabelas are beginning to show signs of the rubber cracking from dry rot despite being wiped down with armor all occasionally. Despite this they still work fine and don't leak. Those are only about 15 years old . Seriously the cabelas have been good boots for the price I paid.
