I've heard they're using more clay in the rubber compound (to reduce cost) and that's causing the rubber boots to break down in a short period of time. The LaCrosse sure are comfortable but they never lasted me more than 2 years.
A couple of years ago I inherited a barely worn pair of rubber boots from my father. I sure couldn't bring myself to pay the price for these but they seem like they'll last for quite a few more years:
they have a cheaper model than these, but my main point is that the rubber compound in these boots is old style. My brother has had a pair for almost 20 years now and he says they are still waterproof, no cracks. I guess over time they are worth the cost.
