Cabela's or Simms. Why wouldn't you buy a pair with lifetime warranty. I am on my 4th pair of Cabela's Dry Plus. I treat them like crap. And send them back after the season and get a brand new pair. Doesn't get any better than that. ALL cabela's brand footwear is lifetime warranty.
That lifetime warranty isn't bulletproof, and as already stated, taking advantage of it does get passed on to the consumer eventually.
