Got some Danners Pronghorn for this summer. Bought on sale for about $150. So far no issues and they seem to breath better than some of the others I have had recently possibly because they have real Gore-tex in them instead of something generic that doesn't really work.
I don't care about the waterproofing as much as other maybe because I don't stand around in the water in mine. I also don't expect them to hold up for years. I wear a pair out every summer. The Chippewa's are nice but I they don't fit me well for some reason. They are probably the best for heavy use and will last longer than others.
