Just a note to give credit where credit is due. I have had a pair of Weinbrenner's The Ultimate®Wading Shoe for a number of years. A problem developed with the shoes this season. I sent them back to the company with a letter of explanation and the problem was resolved without a hitch. The company went far beyond anything I had expected it to do in dealing with the problem. Weinbrenner Shoe Company's customer service -- like their wading shoes -- is superb.
