Everytime a wader thread comes up, I say this, but I am on my 12th pair of Orvis waders in less than 2 years. Most of them go after a few weeks where the boot/ neoprene/ material meet. Last model I had were the hiking boot model which they no longer produce. The new pair I got a few weeks ago are already starting to fall apart. They made some major design changes to the actual boot part. For one, they way a damn ton now. They are heavy and thicker. The problem with the new ones is that rather than a one piece boot design, then have gone to a style where they mold the sole of the boot to the upper. They are starting to fall apart along that seam and I haven't even used them much nor walked as much as I usually do.
Also as I found out last night, they are not as good with corkers.
When this pair goes, gonna get my money back and move onto another brand. Anyone know who makes a model similar to the hiking boot style Orvis had with the integrated lace system?
