After the season, I have pressure washed them and put Sno Seal on them, and they are good to go until next time. This is the cheapest price I've seen on them and where I bought mine. http://www.tylerbrothers.net/chippewa/chippewa-25110-mens-snake-boots

I've emailed Thompson Shoes in Spartanburg, SC. They sold me some Redwings a while back for WAY less than I could find anywhere else, and shipped for free.

I'm still wearing my 25 year old Russells, but they are awfully heavy. I'd get the nylon and leather Chippewas. Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

Not all of their models are American made, anymore, or of the "Chippewa Quality", either. Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby... I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

The Chippewas did not hold up in briars and water, and they do not have very much traction. After that, I tried the Lacrosse mudlite which also fell apart after one season. I am now onto the Danner Pronghorn. So far, they are the easiest to pull on/off, still waterproof, and lighter than any boots in my closet. Time will tell.
