Need advice on new boots

[ryan robert]

After getting dicked around by the entire Irish Setter boot company on getting a replacement pair of boots, I am going to get my 140.00 plus tax money back, and need to find new boots fast, as the hunting season is only weeks away.....
this is what I have
.....

I have a pair of Buck tracker boots made by Irish Setter, they were great , I really love em, but only after wearing them 6-8 times, they are no longer water proof !!!
One would think that after paying 140.00 for a pair of boots, you would get more than one season out of them or at least more than a couple hunts.....

So after talking to the Provincial rep, there is no way im going to get my boots replaced in time, and if i do, it will be with a different pair, that has 1000 grams of thinsulate, my boots are non insulated, thats the way I wanna em, for walking in and hunting.
So where can i get a pair of similar high boots, Lebaron, Sir, Cabalas.

Hunting buddy has a pair of Cabela Pinnacle Zipper 17" and loves them. His are insulated with 400 grams but I know they have uninsulated as well. Also know a couple guys who have uninsulated redhead brand pull up knee highs from Bass pro shop, haven't heard any complaints.

I've had the boots you picture for four years and love them. Mine are still waterproof.

I have to say, I think asking a 140.00 pair of boots to stay waterproof for long, might be pushing things a bit. Hell. running shoes cost that much nowadays!

How about a pair of KeneTrek or Schnee pac boots?

LeBaron has Schnee Sportsman 13" boots for $159

They have a lot less seams than most new cordura/leather boots so they will be easier to keep waterproof and will probably last longer.

Been searching the net now for a few days, having trouble finding something similar to the Irish setter buck tracker, should i try another pair of Irish setters, another type?
Are there any other boots company's that mail order, ive looked into Meindl's, hanwags etc, nutting there of my preference!
