Does anyone make a decent pair of hip boots anymore? I have a pair of Cabela's brand that have been great for many years but they don't make them anymore. The Frog togs brand have a lot of negative reviews.
Thanks!

Dan's or Havoc. I've had both and like both.

I wear the Dan's froglegs most of the Fall while trapping. I can go seamlessly from land to water to land. If you go with the Dan's branded boots on the froglegs, I would recommend going up 1 size in boot. I wear an 11 and my 11s are SNUG.

Is there a website for Dan's? Thank You!

I have the 5star frog legs. They have multiple boot styles to choose from.
Dan's and Yoder both make good hip boots.

To give you an idea of durability, I wear mine year round from frog gigging, to coon hunting, to trapping, to duck hunting, to kayaking, turkey and deer hunting, you name it. I'm on my second pair and I've been wearing them since 2008. And I'd still have my first pair but the lacrosse granges sprung a leak. My second pair is the dans boots, bought in 2018 and they still look new

go dans hip boots. I have a pair of waist waders. Pain in the butt to use. not that easy to walk in.
If I was going to do it again it would be hip boots.
I have used a pair of Chota Hippies over the years. They are light weight. Chota still makes them and I still have mine.

The Chotas are all stocking foot versions correct?
Yes they are. I had to go check. I wear Lacrosse rubber boots when bow hunting and most places I can make it across, but I have run into overflow.
The frog toggs aren't that bad for cheap light duty hippers. If yer just crossing creeks and puddles and not really bushwhacking in them they hold up pretty good. They are very squeaky however.
I wear lacrosse hip boots.
Pre order only. I don't own any of these fancy brands but thought these looked interesting

I just got a set of Rogers sporting goods breathables as my 15 yo Kmart brand pvc's got hard a cracked to pieces. I have to say I like them the only negative is that they are insulated in the boot. I'm a 10.5 wide and ordered a 10 as I didn't want them floppy on my foot and I think they fit just right with a thin pair of socks.
Check out wiggys

I see the Rogers breathables are on sale. Anyone else have experience with these? Can anyone comment on how the Dan's Froglegs are in warmer weather and are they easy to walk in?
Thank You!

Dan's frog legs are very comfortable in all weather but they do get hot in the summer. They're not a breathable fabric, they're briar proof and will last through more abuse than any man wants to put them through. As far as Roger's breathable waders, save your money. I bought a pair to duck hunt in, lasted one season, 52 hunts, before they started leaking like a sieve. Patched them up and put them in the closet, first time out the next season, was leaking in more places. Trashed them. Won't buy them again unless in a pinch. I've had a bunch of the wader brands since and can tell you for certain, that Chene gear tops them all as far as waders go. But again, not briar proof. Depends on what you're gonna be going through. Also waders aren't designed to walk miles in, they're made to get out of a boat, put them on, stand in the water, take off, get back in boat. The seams and material won't stand up to abuse

52 Hunts for a pair of $110 breathable waders sounds good to me. I don't use them all that often but do some for Hunting and Fishing.

Wow, I didn't realize they were that low now!. I paid almost 300 when I bought mine. I believe they were 287 or so before tax and what not

I bought the Dan's Froglegs with Dan's boot. I'm very happy with them. Super comfortable and light.
