The cabelas ultralites r pieces of crap. And they r only warranteed for 12 uses. I have battled it out with cabelas over their warranty on those as they never last more than half a season and they say that if i use them more than 12 times and they fall apart then it is "beyond normal wear and tear". Bs
I have in the past had ll bean grey ghost boots which were awesome until they started makin them only with that stupid boa system. If u go anywhere near sand with them like rmarsh said u better have wire cutters in the truck to get em off. Now they dont make them anymore

I still bought a pair of cabelas ultralites last spring as they were on sale for $60. They changed the design a bit and a bunch of people had posted reviews that they cut into their ankles. I thought maybe they just had weird ankles. Nope. So painful to wear had take em off and walk back to truck in stockingfoot waders
I labored over better options. Wanted something light and i have pretty good ankles as a hockey player so ankle support was less of a concern. Fishin partner suggested simms but they are expensive. I could buy 3 pairs of cabelas boots, use em and and chuck em for less money
So i tried simms ocean teks as they are lower cut and designed for saltwater use They were so stiff and heavy. Felt like ski boots
Next went with simms vapor trail. Best damn pair of boots i have ever owned. A season and a half and still goin. light. Look and feel like hiking boots. Well worth the $170 price tag. As my old man says u get what u pay for
