Hi guys,
Went hunting and got a leak in my boot. Took them back to cabelas to get told the lifetime warranty is nothing more than marketing scheme. So I need some new waders and not willing to spend a million bucks on them. Looking to spend under 200. Where have you guys seen the best deals?
Who told you that? I would have talked to the manager. I had a boot leak after four years. The previous lifetime warranty. I told them they leaked, they told me to go upstairs and grab a new pair. Couldn't find the exact pair, so they had me grab the next best upgrade from those. Absolutely no problem or questions asked. And out the door I went. 
When was this? The lady in the store at the customer service desk and two of their over the phone people told me all the same thing. No receipt, warranty doesn’t do anything but give me the lowest price.
It was about eight months ago. I just told them I got them for a present, which I did.

Something sounds fishy. I could see it if the boots looked like they had been run through a rototiller?

But a leak/ A warranty is a warranty in my book. Me being me wouldn't have left the store till I was satisfied.
