I used them for years before I took a break from coon hunting. I had good luck with froglegs from Wick's. Does anybody know why no one sews the chap or frogleg to the top of the boot????? 20 years ago nobody sewed it to the ankle...now that's all there is. It must be "better" for some reason but I don't own a pair yet so I can't figure it out. Does anyone know if there is a company that makes NON-INSULATED rubber boots for the summer that will go over big calves???? [/QUOTE

Just a guess but a lot of todays boots aren't rubber above the ankle .

I first started out with the arrowheads and now with the muck boots with Pro chaps. This is just very dissappointing when you pay $150 for something and they just don't hold up. Just seeing if anyone else has noticed this problem here lately.

Just got the Badlands Reptile chaps on Aerohead boots.Best chap I've seen since wick.Snake proof from the knee down water proof all the way up.Very well put together and great people to deal with at nite time hunting supply. If was looking I would definitely check these out before buying somthing else.

My OLD un insulated lacrosse burlys old wick brand froglegs<these boots are still fine in the heel area but the rest of them are trashed out obviously.
I have tried Lacrosse and muck both several pairs over the last 5 years- same problem EVERYTIME, Heels wear out !! and rest of the boot is fine . Im at a loss anymore with rubber boots........
Any recommendations from any ya'll ???
Thanks !!

Zach- thanks for the tip im gonna look into those !

It seems from all the posts/threads ive been reading and feedback from everyone is that there just aint any good frogleggs out there anymore? Either the chap is too heavy , baggy, too thin, too thick, OR the boot aint no good, etc, etc I know everyone has an opinion with diff wants and needs. Also depends on the type of terrain you hunt and or time of year. Alot of people will "settle for less" and just "live with it" ....... .... i just cant do that.

I wonder if anyone is making or tried a good GORETEX leather or cordura boot and attaching the chaps to those ??? may be expensive but could possibly be worth it ? Obviously, they would need a good way to attach em so they wont leak at the attachment..... Opinions ??
