    Awesome information! Went and got me the nevadas - took them for a hunt and loved them. Comfy as, not too extreme, and definitely will take care of them to prevent hydrolysis!!

    So they should be replaced because they are not fit for purpose. Some of these big companies seem to get away with murder. and charge like a wounded bull.
    I can set a of shit car tires for less then some of these boots and get 20000km from them. Most of these would struggle to get to that millage

    Until they find something better than polyurethane for the mid soles then that's what's available. If you read the link above it is preventable but I also agree that you should be able to clean and treat your boots and store them in the cupboard until next use.

    What’d ya go for? Found my nevadas to do the same. Although similar, I had next to no pack, and covered about 12km in the bush.

    Bugger about the ankle mate! Will be heading down to Hunter river for a hunt in April and can’t wait to really test these out in the tops.
