Having bought 4 pairs of expensive Chotas for my family including one of the
heavy duty ones and having 3 of the four develop leaks within a couple weeks
of light use I would no longer recommend them.

By the way, what would people use to repair them?

Anyway, I use Crocs now with waterproof socks if I have to. But they do not
offer ankle support. Good traction on wet rocks and logs but not wet grass.
Not really a substitute for Chotas because they function differently.

But nice because VERY lightweight. Slippers for the outdoors.
