The Lacrosse's were great for me too until this year. Now, after only two years of wear and finished basement storage, the rubber has cracked through near the toe where it flexes the most. I'm kind of dissappointed in them now.

My neighbor has a pair of Muck boots and he loves them. They're made of a different rubber compound that doesn't look like it'll break through in the same way. He's also praised how comfortable they are.
