What are cheapy hip boots that are common in farm supply stores with PVC upper like ? I have no idea what this PVC upper is like ? Any good for early season trapping ? Or something that would be damaged an leak fast ? I am sure there ok for fishing

Did you not order the $30 ones I showed you on ITT?

Not yet, thought about it an still looking around yet, I call them an they have 1 proline boot in size 13

If your walking through any brush the uppers will look like swiss cheese in no time.

they are like cheap pvc hip boots - junk

I lived most my life in Lacrosse ankle fit big chief hip boots. They don't last more than a season any more without patching with shoe goo. $140 now and made in China. I tested a pair of Cabelas boot for 30 or 40 bucks this summer and they preformed well and no leaks yet. They have some kind of plastic boot that is maybe 10 inches tall and the rest is pvc impregnated canvas (or something like that ). The brush has not tore up the tops, but I didn't run them through a bunch of thorns. There are cheap boots and there are cheap boots that are junk. These appear to be better than Prolines; at least the ones I'm familiar with. IMO getting a good hip boot that last more than a season is getting real tough.

Dirt What Cabelas boot are you referring to?

I'm a little inaccurate. I found the box. I paid $56.77 on sale. Regular price was $ 74.99

Cabela's Three Forks Insulated Lug Sole

Don't know if they will dry rot over winter yet?

I have used the Lacross trapper for many years. Most last two seasons with a lot of patches. Are the new ones foreign made? are they junk?......jk

I wear Lacross outriggers 5 or more days a week through some pretty nasty brush. I'm happy with them.
Wasted a lot of money buying cheapy hip boots

I have try patching hipboots with lot different ways, a tempory fix is all u get, once a leak, pretty well shot, someone say flex seal tape, I try aqua seal over top of it, flex tape, it last a day , the proline were a good cheaper rubber boot with lite insulation, lasted longer than more expensive brands, alot chesper brands are not rubber an or the PVC upper,

Prolines last as long as the expensive boots on my line, maybe it's just me.

I've got a cheap pair of Frog Toggs that I've had for 5 or 6 years now with no problem. Would like to get something with a little insulation and a little bigger footprint to keep from sinking in the mud so much though.

Nope same here. Just as soon go cheap and destroy my hip boots than go expensive.

Lacrosse Trapper has worked well for me.

I am looking at the Dans frog leg boots. Supposedly they are awesome. You get to choose boots (muck,lacross,etc) and they attach a water proof briar chap to them. HeArd great things about them

Lacrosse is all I buy. Couple or three seasons before wore out and wearing at creases. I use mine all year in rough conditions. Cut a patch out old boot and use super glue to fix a leak. Works well for me.

Got a pair of Frogtogs that leaked the 3rd time I had them out last winter. Fleet Farm gave me a refund. Then I got a pair of LaCrosse boots at Cumberland’s. They’re heavy duty compared to the Frogtogs and I expect I’ll get a couple years out of them. I’ve had LaCrosse for years. Trying something cheap just proved you get what you pay for.

I had pair frog toggs for about $100 from farm fleet, rubber to around knee then polyester rubberized uppers, camo, tight on feet compare other boots, lasted about a season an seep around knees, or an seams, somewhere an can't patch, dont like frogg toggs, lol refund defective boots or espeacially thiesens. I just look at boots at thiesens to see what PVC upper is, as most boots go to it, no good for trapping, junk boots, they had PVC upper camo boots at thiesens store that look like a plastic look, Ithasca,,$90, not worth $20, not sure where going get boots
