Default Re: Waders recommendations needed

I had a pair of LL Bean wading boots for about 10 years. Loved them but the sole finally fell apart. Called Bean and basically was told they were well past warranty so I would wonder about their waders being "lifetime" vs. what they deem as useful life. Actually I wasn't sore about it cause really why should something like waders or wading boots carry anything more than a warranty for manufacturers defects. They are terminal wear that gets used, abused, and wears out. At some point you should expect to have to replace them. That's the way it goes. Plus why should Bean be on the hook to replace negligently used or abused gear. Same goes for the rod companies, always thought the lifetime warranty business model was faulty.
