Pity you couldn't get the Bisons in 13's Paul, IMO they were well worth the money.
Mine have just come apart at the soles after nearly two seasons, so not bad for £35.
I could have got them repaired, but have gone over to rubber soles from now on.
A friend of mine had the Greys ones and one of the soles came off second time out in them, he got them replaced under guarantee, and the next ones were fine.
You pays your money and takes your chance with wader boots, some are lucky it seems and I am not.
My new Scierra Dynatracks are coming away after two trips, so I will be doing a lot of homework before I buy another pair.
Good luck with it.

I bought a pair of orvis boots second hand from a guy at work, he'd only worn them a few times but I've had them almost a year and they are showing no signs of falling apart, I'm sure they retail around £60 in John Norris as I only paid £30 second hand.

I have the Greys GRXi boots on their second season and they are good boots for the money. Only sign of wear and tear is the rubber surrounding the toe and side of the boot where it is just starting to show signs s crack where it bends.

A little drop of waterproof glue will hold that back for a time I think.
