Just have to ask , are your feet really that big that you have to wear "rubber boats " ?:)

They do. Or at least they did. I have a pair of 10" lace ups. Laces don't do much to be honest though. They're pretty stiff.

Obvious they didn't have the same boots but they found an equivalent to them and exchanged them as warranty. I was shocked as these boots were obviously very well worn so I asked the lady after the guy had left and was told that as long as they are a cabelas name footwear they have a lifetime warranty. I was impressed.

I had not heard of this till now. I remembered that I have a pair of 5 year old cabelas waders with a leaky stocking foot (my own fault). I just called to ask if they are covered and was told to bring them in and they will replace them right away! Wow! One more cabelas vote here!

I have the same boot for early season hunting, fabulous boots. Not what I wear turkey hunting though. For turkey I wear knee high rubber boots as I seem to always have to cross streams and mud and nothing works like a good rubber boot in that mess.

I've posted the Cabela's warranty info before, it is unbeatable.

Cabela’s Brand clothing and footwear is guaranteed against defects in workmanship for the lifetime of the product under normal wear and tear.

I was actually in Cabelas today in Barrie. I am looking for an insulated pair of rubber boots for deer hunting. I have great early season ones both leather and rubber but deer hunting can be pretty nasty. I was talking to the kid in the boot section and he confirmed that they in fact guarantee Cabelas brand boots for life. They didn't have the size I needed but November is not around the corner so will wait for stock to come in. I'm getting the 1200gr Rubber with side zip. I like that feature, makes us old guys get in and out of them easier after a day on stand. I was all set to get a pair of Mucks but a lifetime warranty is just too hard to pass up.

i like my danner canadians.. comfy.. dry...

Feet sweat in rubber boots as they don't breath. Any high end boot Irish Setter, Rocky, Cabela's ....with Gore-Tex will keep water out and let your feet breath and stay dry + comfortable. Unless you plane to be in water for a lengthy time then Muck's are good to go.
