Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Where can I buy Hogman or other well made felt sole hip boots

I have been trying to purchase some felt sole hip boots for stream fishing. The three ply model I have had before and purchased them locally. Can't do it now. I tried calling Hogman, they have a lady that answers, and her English impossible for me to follow. So I am will to purchase anywhere, just need a spot. Thanks

Are you set on hip boots? How about some waders with boots? or even the waist hi pants? THey'll give you a ton of options on brands and boots to choose from, and I think they have much better ankle support than any hip boots I've ever tried.

I think Hodgman went to China.
If you like the old school waders a company out of Virginia has a line of waders that gets good reviews.
They are not cheap.

If you can do stockingfoot, these companies get the best reviews :
Simms
Dan Bailey
Redington

I paid the big price for Simms in 2000
I use them mostly in summer and they are still going.
They have outlived two pairs of boots and are on the 3rd pair.

Now a days Hodgman are junk! Will last one season if you are lucky!

Amazon has 3.5 mm felts

Lol what an idiot. You ve never even touched a fly rod. Suggesting hogeman crap junk? What a clown job

Direct drive doesn’t hunt or fish. Why would anyone follow her advice?

I have a stalker ^^^
Pay no mind.

I would highly recommend either a quality pair of stocking feet wading pants or Chota Hippies. With both you purchase whichever boots you want to wear separate.
