Cabela's Water Proof Mid Active Trail Boots

[Ham]

I needed another pair of water proof boots for the coming winter season. I can't effectively fish during a cold, hard rain with wet feet. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money though. I had a nice pair of Gore Tex hikers that lasted years and did a great job, but they were over $200. 

I saw a chance to get 20% off Cabela's branded stuff with free shipping so I took a chance on these Water Proof Mid height hikers. I don't have a lot of experience with them yet, but Im happy so far. The cosmetics are nice. They really aren't very heavy. I fished all day in an off and on rain which soaked my boat and gear, but my feet stayed nice and dry. I had some concerns about the tread of the boots being ungainly in the boat, but that doesn't seem to be an issue at all.

I'm pretty pleased with my purchase. I only have about $80 in these boots and I think they are going to do everything I need. I wouldn't try to hike the Appalachian Trail in them, but I will rely on them to keep my feet dry as I fish this Fall/Winter.

Ham,

I too just wore out a pair of goretx boots and I'm looking to replace them.

Can you add a link to the ones you bought please?

Cabelas gear has been very good to me.  They are very willing to refund your money if you are disappointed.  Take the plunge.  Little risk.

Still happy with these boots.

Actually my son might have me talked into a pair of Muks.

He loves his and he deer and rabbit hunts in them.  Easy on and off and they water proof up to your knee.

Heck!  As much as I work I don't need any boots.

I bought a pair of boots from Cabelas for general working in the yard/wading in the creek.  They may have been Wolverines.  Not quite certain.  I am certain that I bought them from the bargain cave, and would have paid no more than $40 or so for them.  Anyway, the soles came off of both of them and I wasn't happy about it.  I took them up to the store and after an hour or so, they swapped them out for a pair of Danners that are just awesome.  I'm sure there was a hefty price difference but I didn't pay anything out of pocket.  Their customer service has been great to me.
