xtratufs are kinda tuffs now, they switched production to china, and now they fall apart easily, if they don't say made in the usa on them, they are the Chinese ones, they just don't last. I was a huge believer in them, now I switched to a servus fire type boot.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

I am very disappointed. I haven't bought a pair in years - haven't needed too. Maybe time to look at some lacrosse

for warm weather, shorts, etc. I use old sneakers or this summer a pair of decent water shoes.

Keep lines wet and tight in the pacific

Been hearing the same thing on the new Chinese made xtratufs. Some commercial guys I know say that their new ones aren't lasting a month before they start to fall apart. The company has issued a press release saying that they screwed up in moving the production to China. Stay away!
