I was originally looking for another pair of Lacrosse Hawthorne boots, when I came across these.
I finally wore out my Hawthornes after 4 years, and was disappointed to see the price had more than doubled.
I took a chance on the Tretorn Strala as they were nearly identical to the Hawthorne in weight and dimensions.
They are very light and great for both yardwork and hunting.
Each boot is less than a pound.
An advantage over the Hawthorne; the Strala is waterproof.
Stepping in even a small puddle with the Hawthorne would leave you with soggy socks.
The only odd thing about the Strala are cuts in the rubber outer material where the elastic bands are on the sides.
The cuts are designed to make it easier to put on and remove, but they tend to fold in and bunch up when you put them on.
It's a simple matter of using a finger to straighten them, and once you do, they stay in place as long as you're wearing them.
They are well built, lined, light, and very comfortable.
Hopefully, they'll last me another 4 years.
