MY 10 year old US made "seconds" from Sweeney's in Soldotna are still going strong. They were "off-color"- so 2/3rds the price.
Sad to say, I threw out my Cabelas Iron Ridge boots from 5 years ago just yesterday, worn mostly daily on the job since. Ramping 737s 2 or 3 times daily are hard on boots. Only got one pre-employment hunting season out of them.
I thought about sending them back to Cabelas for warranty. Probably a non starter, considering there was no sole, side-panel integrity, uppers, or lacing attachment left to speak of. Holes, cracks, and gaps everywhere. Airline attendants made fun of me. And pilots. The knotted lacing was probably the most secure part... Real comfortable tho... in dry warm weather. Hated to give them up.
The new ones are totally different in design. God I hate that.. I'm gonna use the other two pairs of different used boots as much as possible until winter.. I might have to go hunting sometime and need a decent pair of hiking boots....
But my old USA made Xtra Tuffs are good.
