I was just at the Snareshop in Lidderdale Iowa. Just paid $144.95 for Lacrosse outrigger non-insulated hip boots. I then drove 25 miles to the beaver job I have set up. Pulled the boots out of the box, put them on, checked traps, and took them off. They are now wadded up on the back seat of my truck. When I get home they are going in my boot dryer until I need them again. I will take the boots off my boot dryer and lay them on my bench.

I don't know if it's the right way or wrong way and (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) well don't care. But I get a good 5-6 years out of them. I wear them 2-3 times a week in the summer and 7 days a week in fall/winter untill I put my insulated lacrosse hip boots on.

Hopefully this helps Dave. Don't know if it will work with your cheap boots or not. Like so many other things you do......quit overthinking ir

The problem lies in getting what you pay for. There isnt a fix in the world for cheaply made junk. I had rubber hip boots from wwII that were folded 3 times and they didnt have a crack in them. The rubber compound asians use . well isnt quite what you call quality. I would rather have a 50 year old pair of lacrosse waders than any of that new overseas crap.

Dave, you’re the biggest worrier I’ve ever witnessed. You’re entertaining, though. I still think Savell is Coonman. Savell, come out the closet, ole’ son! Lol.

LaCrosse footwear is China made.I buy the insulator 3 waders.They’re not terrible quality but you need a degree in wader patching if you don’t replace yearly.They had some shotty quality over the years but have been pretty decent lately.

Nail 3 pieces of scrap wood up across your floor joist like this and you can hang both pair up.

Did you look at the ones M.T.P. sells for less than $3 a pair like I said earlier in this thread?I don't think you read most peoples responses,,,you just keep typing.I agree with Walleyed,,,keep your boots in the freezer.
