New xtratuf boots suck! I used to be able to get 2000 hours of wear out of a pair. The last pair I just bought blew apart in about two weeks. It's really unfortunate because they have the best tread pattern for safely negotiating a slippery slimy fishing boat deck. Does anybody know of another option? I was really depressed when they went to china for manufacture. When you spend all day every day in your boots you learn to appreciate a good pair.
