My lacrosse hip boots have held up well and my alphaburly pros are awesome.
Now another idea... you could spend a little more and buy some cabelas dryplus breathable chest waders. Just as easy to put in as the hip waders but offer more capability, and aren't too hot to where during the warmer months.
That's another thing. I don't expect to use them much. I can't justify spending the $130-150 lacrosse wants for a new pair. Walmart probably doesn't have my size though, usually 12 is the biggest they go.
