So 3 years ago I purchased the Cabela's Brittany 10" boot. After 1 year they leaked like a sieve. 2 Years ago, I bought Danner Pronghorns with the same result. I returned them to Cabela's because they leaked and got a pair of Browning uplands. Now after simply walking through a frosted grass field, these leak. What the heck is it with boots not being able to last more than a year? I treated every boot with a waterproof treatment yet all have leaked. I'm not talking about standing in water with these things, but just walking through a field with dew or frost. I have a boot dryer and religiously dry them and dress the leather. The reason I choose each of the boot models was because all of them weighed less than 2.8 lbs / pair.
When I expect the hunt through wet areas, I use my rubber boots, but darn it why can't I walk through a frosty field without getting wet feet?
I am taking these boots back to Cabela's but now have no idea what to get in their stead.
