Make them and we will keep buying. Best hip waders on earth. Mine stayed waterproof inspecting a few hundred stream and river bridges and culverts a year, And fishing and walking hunting dogs through creeks. Unfortunately the black suspenders that attaches from boot to belt wears out quicker than the waterproofing in 4 to 5 years. Would I still buy them? You betcha. Fix the black suspenders to belt and they would be Extremely Durable. Get the felted sole. Especially if you have greasy, mossy stones in the stream to cross.

Thoroughly impressed with the quality and fit of these hip waders, the boot is slim and precise, the synthetic felt sole looks like it will last years. I like the stiff posture and blackberry thorn resistant weight of canvas.
