RE: rubber boots and dry rotting?
I was all hyped about getting some of those lacrosse boots or the Cabela's equivalent until I visited Cabela's in Hamburg, PA over Thanksgiving. In their bargain cave was a pair or two of returned rubbered boots that both seemed to have dry rotted excessively just above the ankle and were patched quite a bit until I guess the owners got tired of doing it. I'm surprised Cabela's put them back on the floor. It sent up a red flag for me and cost them a sale until I researched it a bit more. Thanks for your post.
