I have 2 pairs of cabela's brand hunting boots. They aren't rubber or anything, just leather with a heavy duty sole. Both are gortex and haven't leaked yet. I have had the first pair, 600 gram thinsulate, for about 7 years now and they have ZERO defects. The leather is just getting good now haha. The 1000 gram thinsulate pair my girlfriend got for winter deer and coyote hunting. I haven't had cold feet yet.

the 600 gram pair was about 89 bucks, and the 1000 i believe she paid about the same...
