The LaCrosse Burly as in the photo above are not what they used to be. I bought a new pair a month or 2 ago and only wore them twice before a small tig went through the side of one them right above where the tread is welded on. I could not believe it. I hunted in a older pair for years and never gave a second thought to where I was stepping and never punched a hole in a boot.
I don't understand why they would make a boot that is so easy to puncture. I don't care if it's a little heavier or if it costs a little more, I need a durable waterproof boot. I'm going to try a pair of the Kamik Bushmans. They are made in the USA and get good reviews.
