Hey y'all. I'm having a hard time finding a good quality pair of hip boots. Do y'all have any suggestions as to where I can get some?

I have used several pair of rubber hip waders they work pretty well, but after a few years they will dry rot. 2 years ago I bought the muck boots with nylon waterproofed hip wader. They are three times better than any other wader around. They are much lighter (like wearing tennis shoes), and much more comfortable. The only minor drawback is price at $90-$100 but I bet you will love these waders if you try a pair on.

Hope this helps-

I promise you ya wont be sorry with the froglegs. Wick makes most of their own products right there on site and stands behind his products 100%. With him being a coonhunter himself he knows how to build a product that will work for coonhunters. I cant comment on the Muck boot personally but I have heard only good about them. I have my frogles put on the LaCrosse Black Bear. One thing I can tell ya you can get the froglegs that just go to the top of the boot or that go all the way down to the ankle. Get the ones that go all the way to the ankle, the froglegs really help to protect the ankle of the boot when your going thru brush and briars. I've had this pair now for 3 years. I hunt in them at least 3 or 4 times a week and use them for everything else, rabbit hunting, fishing etc. They still have not ever had a leak! I've been wearing them since he first come out with em and would never buy nothin else! I would like to try the muck boot though. Can anyone tell me if they are insulated and warm?

Does Wick use the Muck style boots too???
I love my ole Wick froglegs and have heard great things about the Mucks. And would like to get my next froglegs with the Mucks on them instead of the Burly.
Thanx

But remember that the "froglegs" that they are talking about aren't made with much boots, they are with the rubber boots. They may be cheaper, but it is worth the extra money to get the ones with much boots. The chaps sown on much boots will run you about $105 - $115 from Valley Creek.

Can't hardly beat the quality and service you will find at VALLEY CREEK HUNTING SUPPLY. Redgy and Winell Ramsey are top notch people and will stand behind what they sell...
