I was wanting something to keep my feet dry and was having no luck sealing my old leather boots. Rubber boots tend to be on the HEAVY side. I searched on Amazon and found "Tingley Men's Ultra Lightweight Snow Boot" for under $50 and have been very pleased. They are truly Ultra-Light. I've had them a little over a year and probably worn them about 35 to 50 times for a few hours each time. They appear to be made with material similar to what Crocs are made of and so far are holding up really well.
