Apologies for bouncing an old thread....
I've had my Berghaus a couple of years now and they have just started leaking. I do use them pretty much every day during non welly season. I thought a couple of years use out of them was pretty good but reading your post I'm now not so sure...
These are smart IMO. They make a decent boot as well.
But so do Timberland.
Do CAT still make boots? I have a pair which are well over 20 years old and still going.
