Any suggestions a nice waterproof boots?
Nov 22, 2021 10:39:30 #
I was asked what a thoughtful Christmas gift me would be and knee high waterproof boots came to mind. A buddy of mine has some generic knee high rubbers and I wondered why I didn't have a pair myself yet. So I went looking around and found some decent looking boots but they all have mixed reviews with sole separation issues and not lasting long. I hate asking for expensive things so what would be a decent boot for a guy that likes to fish creeks spring - fall? I don't need anything crazy warm but I assume standing in water can get cold. Looking for a solid waterproof boot that will last, without breaking a budget; I'd say less than $200 range.

I've got a pair of waxed canvas hip boots I bought at Walmart about 30 years ago that I've stomped all over the Sierras in, they're in about as good shape as the day I bought em. Not particularly warm, but they don't leak - wear some thermal socks with em.

I’ve got a pair of Muck Wetlands that I’m quite fond of. They’re not “cheap” but have served me well for 5 years without a leak and they’ve been through the ringers. I’m quite pleased with them.

I use these also. Nice and warm in the winter too, and they're comfortable for shorter distance walks.

I bought a cheap pair of boots at Rural King a couple of years ago. They have served the purpose for which I bought them. However if you need to do a bit of walking they are not that comfortable. If I had to do it over I would spend the extra money and buy a good pair of Muck Boots

I've bought boots, shirts and some other items from a place in Bath, PA that does on line called Field Supply. They've had some very good prices.

I used to be a volunteer fireman and found a pair of firefighter hip boots / waders. They can be folded down to cover your calf or raised up over your thigh. I am sure you can find them at a firefighter supply store near you or get them online. If you are short you may want to try them on first and as they will come up to your groin. Mine have lasted more than 20 years.

I have a pair of Artic Storm that I got on sale for 140.00 and they are super warm and good tread for mud, snow, or ice and you can wear them all day. For working livestock I have a pair of muck boots that are also very comfortable and waterproof but not warm when it is freezing.

I had purchased a pair of knee highs at Tractor Supply, which had a nice felt liner that is removable. Been great. They served the purpose in marshy areas or walking through early AM due in fields. But when decided to use them fishing around streams, I was constantly watching the water level. Wish I had purchased hip boots instead. Just a thought.

I used to use la crosse boots for years. I bit the bullet and bought a pair of gumleaf rubber knee high boots what a world of difference. Nicer fit and heavy duty. I think they were mostly made for the horse/ farm market but I just looked and there marketing includes hunting/fishing. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pair if they ever wear out.
