Bought some of the Vietnam "Meindl" ultralights from Cabelas a year ago and they are already leaking. Didn't realize they were made in Vietnam when I bought them UGGG. Looked at the Danner 452/453 and they are made in CHINA. Realize I won't get an American made boot in my budget but thought I would see what some of you guys thought. Thanks in advance.


1) Got 3 pair of Cabela's Meindles, and they all sucked.
2) You didn't mention how high you require your boots to be.
