Thanks. Costco just opened up here in Melbourne last month and seems to be a huge hit. I will have to check them out. As I don't tend to buy much for myself, when I do, I try to get better quality, especially if I will not be able to return them under warranty. I will probably head towards something like Simms with the wading boots(name slipped my mind) with soles that may be swapped. Seem to be good, long lasting and compared to Aussie prices, cheap as chips.
If anyone can recommend something else, please do.
