I had a pair of Cabela's, I have never had a pair of Beans. My brother in law swears by his Beans. I swore at my Chinamanese ones from Cabelas. They never fit my heel correct, kept the forrest dry for others by sucking in all the water in the area. I mailed them back in, got questions, like how do you know they leak? I suggested they put them on and stand in a bucket of ice water. I ended up getting the Irish setter boot they had on sale, Gore Tex, super lightweight, medium insulation, about 12" tall, I've hunted in cold deep snow at 9500'for elk, my feet were comfy. I can wear the Setter all day, day after day. If I had to have a pair of leather top rubber bottom boots, I would call Beans, fill out the order, pay more than cheap knockoffs and be happy. No more junk for me.
