These appear to me to be a lot more robust, offer some insulation, and just seem a lot safer than trusting a critical failure point to latex. The price difference, in the greater scheme of things, is minimal. I'm very happy with mine, but they still need some protection; I'm just using oversized "surf shoes" --- K-Mart $4.99 blue-light specials serve just fine!
