George1,
Take them back if they are leaking. Cabelas has a great return policy. I had taken the same ones back a year after I purchased them and got a refund(leaking around the seam in foot). Then swithced to the breathable ones and had worn them out in one season. I went back to the store and told the lady at the Customer service desk my problem and they refunded my money. I decided to called Simms and inquire about their waders prior to buying them and was told by the service rep. he would eat them if I had worn them out. I decided to buy Simms due to their quality and service. I will hold that guy to that promise if I wear them out.
So far they held up to 5 trips to the Salmon River and probable a good 200 river float fishing and wading trips.

Dreaming of the pond!
