I bought a pair of Lacrosse (made in China) about 5 yrs ago, and they are still comfortable and holding up great. A little on the heavy side(800 grams thinsulate), so after 12hrs or so, my feet are tired. I usually try to remember to change shoes when I get back to camp, even if between morning and afternoon hunts, but sometimes it slips my mind, and I find myself sitting around camp in the eveningbefore mytired feetreminds me. All in all, I would buy them again. My next pair will probably be a pair of Alpha Burly rubber boots.
