Absolutely !

Been doing that for years.Wore a pair of my cutoffs last weekend ,when in the snow after the winter meeting.
They are actually comfortable ,with a nice built in pad on the inside bottom.
I slip a pair on every day ,when heading to the mail box.wearing one pair now and have several in waiting.

I bought a pair of neoprenes this fall for beaver trapping. It’s all they had at Scheels. Anyway, I did a query about repairing neoprene because I know I’ll need to, and I found some roof construction material that’s supposed to work. NP-1 or NP1 is used to repairing neoprene sheeting. I think Menards might have it, but if not, commercial roofing companies should.

Before neoprene waders became my go to. I used the top off my old black lacrosse waders for skinning fleshing apron. Could be a bit to warm in early season but sure kept coon grease off me.

I'm gonna tell my Wife in our next spat....I'm just a three demential- dementiana- dimensional Thinker

Use the wader tops for protection while fleshing. Work better then aprons.

As long as the bottoms are still good , I've done it .
They seem to hold up better than the regular boots too .
The regular boots seem to crack on the heels for some reason .

Yup where them in the fur shed.

Yep... "Old School", why throw something away when it can be used... in the way it was intended or for some other purpose. I learned this from my Dad and he was always saying, "Don't throw it away if you can use it for some other purpose". I asked him about it once and he replied, "Try living through great a depression".

Enough said, I sometime think I am today...

Garry-

The question is...why wouldn't you?
Problem I see is the boots crack where the bend making them useless except for a light dew....

Every pair I've owned gets cut like that. Got a pair of Cabelas chest waders that got turned into hip boots that are almost ready to become knee boots

I've had some hold up for 15yrs here on the farm

I got a hole in my boat 22 years ago that is ¼" x 1½" on a Saturday night. Where can you weld your boat on a Saturday? NP-1 & duct tape to the rescue! Still holding tight! The duct tape was just a backer for the caulk.

So what happens when 160user goes into his shed and finds his waders missing. So those tracks around his place was you doing a little night skulling?

Yep

I'm thinking about making Crocs out of my knee boots that the sides blew out of. I just have to trim them and burn a bunch of holes all over in them...
