Hodgman Mackenzie Cleated Hip Bootfoot Fishing Wader

These are awesome hip waders. I rock hound and prospect and these work great. The footing when walking in the rivers is excellent and they are completely water proof, I have used them an entire summer and fall. I would highly recommend these waders.

These boots are horrible. Put them on and tie the belt straps to hold them up and the straps are so weak %26 stretchy the boot hangs down to the knee. I had to just use string to hold them up or the boot is worthless

I received these waders as a gift to use while out prospecting for gold in shallow water. The very first day that I used them, 3-4 hours of continuous use, I noticed that my legs were damp. They kept the majority of water out, and kept me dry for the most part, but I left a bit disappointed that they didn't seem to work % 100 as advertised. I expected the material to lose integrity over time and with continuous use especially considering the price. However, I didn't expect damp legs on the first day of using them. It's possible I received a defective pair - it happens from time to time. Regardless, I will be returning them and will be testing my luck with a second pair. I think it would be fair to say that they would be a decent pair of hip waders for minimal use applications.

I like the light weight of the boots. My size ten was a good fit and large enough to wear heavy socks if needed. Good value.

Used these for a 2 hour hike in some meadows close to the water and when we got to an area that had knee high standing water they leaked where the plastic boot meets the material. On another note, the boot itself was comfortable. Will be returning

good boot lasted 2 years without leaking, then leggins wore from rubbing together. Easily repaired with wader repair goo. Still using them they are about 4 years old. I wish the boot had more foot support.

Have not used them yet but fit and feel is great! Construction looks great!

Light and comfortable and could not give it a five star rating due to the snaps on the straps. Easier to take the belt off and slip the loop through the belt than fight with the snaps and possibly tear the strap.

Nice, much lighter in weight than rubber hip waders, easier to move around!
