I am wanting to buy a pair of 'frogleg' boots that will (hopefully)not fall apart or start leaking in the first blackberry patch. The blackberries I'm talking about are so big and thick you usually have to cut a hole into the tree with a machete and some have huge thorns almost like a catclaw tree. I am wanting to buy some thigh highs and I need womens sized boots. My husband is hoping to find chest highs out of the same material. Any suggestions????

He was! He grew up just outside of San Fran. Been in Hillbillyville for almost 15 yrs now, though.

Nasty stuff out there, huh Liz! The heaviest weight chap material you can get works good.
I've got the heavy black Tejas chaps on my Mucks, but they don't make them anymore. I've heard Dan's and Yoder do.
As far as wader boots go, the Mucks have been the only ones I've ever worn that were comfortable and have NEVER given me blisters. Two things I don't like about them -- they're slicker than snot on wet logs and rocks and they feel like walking in moon boots (remember those?). A little while of picking those boots up to climb over knee-high briars is a heck of a workout. Nice and comfortable for hours of walking the roads and open country out there though.
If I didn't have to worry about keeping my feet dry, I think I'd be tempted to go with comfortable hiking boots, heavy chaps, and heavy gaiters.

yeah I have my 'summertime' get up which is just old hiking boots and double walled carharts or I think I'll start wearing my chinks (ha! Thought Tiny would like wondering what chinks were). But I'm tired of worrying about getting my feet wet during the winter. Of course to us mountain banjo strummers its always like summer down there. I have tried on the muck boots at tractor supply but they only had the black ones I had to wear a wimmins 9 I think. I'm going to have to go somewhere else to try the wetland's ones on to make sure I order the right size.

My Mucks are the black ones. Inside they say 10/10.5. You're welcome to try them on if you see me or Tiny before you find somewhere else to try them. I'm sure Tiny will be out there hunting Sunday for sure, and I'm really hoping we can finally get the beagles out before Squirt's too pregnant to run.
