FROGG TOGGS Men's Hellbender Waterproof Fishing Wading Boot for Fishing in Felt or Cleated

The Frogg Toggs Hellbender wading boots have been excellent. I ordered one size up to accommodate my wading pants with built-in neoprene booties, and the fit is perfect. Recommend wearing a thin wicking sock beneath your waders to prevent chafing. The lugged soles offer great grip, and the lacing system is quick and easy—these boots go on and off without hassle.I’ve used them for kayak fishing in Florida over the past year, and they’ve held up very well. My feet stay warm and dry, even in wet or cooler conditions. Surprisingly, even during Florida summers when I wear them with wading pants in rainy weather, I’ve had no issues with my feet getting too hot.I love these boots and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, comfortable wading footwear.

This is my first pair of wading boots, so I don't have much too compare them too, but I liked the construction and the fit. The price was great too.These boots come big, with plenty of room for a stocking foot wader. They are very light weight, so I plan on wearing thick wool socks in cold water, but they should be comfortable in warmer water too with regular socks.The sole was soft and sticky, and it had bosses for cleats if you so desire. I'll be using these for a week of river fishing in August in Alaska so I'll update this review if anything changes.Update: I wore these boots 10-12 hours a day in Alaska. They were very comfortable whether I was fishing from a skiff or walking a stream. The material allows them to dry fast, and they are very lightweight. The leather boots some of my buddies wore were heavy and took forever to dry. And they didn't take up much of my alotted weight in my luggage. I definitely recommend these.

I am new to fly fishing and wanted quality gear but didn't want to spend a ton of money. I found the right brand when I chose to buy the Froggs Toggs. These wading boots were an afterthought a few days after buying the Froggs Toggs stockingfoot waders. At first I thought I could wear some old hiking boots then bought some oversized water shoes. Of course neither of these worked and I learned there was a reason wading boots existed, even if it meant spending another eighty bucks. These boots are worth every dollar. They're built well, give good support and provide great traction on the riverbeds common in my region.I chose the felt soles and feel like I made the right decision. I haven't slipped yet and felt very sure-footed. It's suggested to go with your regular boot size since they have already built the extra space needed for the neoprene booties. I did go one size higher because of my extra wide width but could have gone with the usual boot size. The size 11's look like Frankenstein's boots but even with the extra space they felt comfortable for the three hours in the water.

Solid for the price, they fit well, are comfortable, light, durable, but the traction is good out of the water, good on sandy/gravel river beds, but not great on bigger rocks with algae

I have used these boots on one trip so far but I am extremely pleased. They were quite comfortable and the ankle support was firm which helped while walking over rocks and boulders while wading in the water.I must have hiked for 2-3 miles on top of wading in the water and the shoes were comfortable all day long.I went up one size and they fit perfectly with my stocking waders, I would suggest going up one size for the additional comfort and ability to wear socks of different bulk. Can’t say how they will hold up in the long run but I only fish while wading 4-5 times a year and for the price and comfort I can’t complain.

Excellent much better then the cleats I have. Comfortable no SLIPPAGE, fish a lot in rivers. Compared to the cleats these are so much better. Didn't slip once.they don't gather silt and mud as well as on the inside. The sole looks solid will see how it holds up. They are very comfortable went with my shoe size and the fit is fine. Could've went up in size but there fine. Price is fair so if they last 2 season or more money well spent. If I remember...if.. I'll update my review late fall. Very pleased and again there better than the cleats. I was confident in the water with each step an not slipping. I would recommend them.from May to October they held up fabulously. Put a lot of miles and hours of wear on them. Only issues laces wore out and they take forever to dry. I'll stand by my review I like em' 👍

Have walked about 3 miles so far and holding up great. Easy to use laces and fits great over neoprene booties. True to size. Decent traction. Looks good. Water drains easily. Lightweight.

I have already purchased for boots and I use them strictly for trout fishing and hiking the mountains to get to my streams high by the felt pair and I use them especially still had fishing. The average lifespan of a felt boot is about two 2 1/2 years yes, you’re an avid fisherman and fish at least 50 times a year for the price I purchased more than a pair for the simple fact that I will not be replacing the felt with new felt frog togs a very good boot. I would rather do the felt which is a safer material on slimy rocks. Granted, it can be kind of tough on grassy Meadows, for there is no grip on the boot , I did have a Redington Skagit boot with a sticky rubber bottom, which did not work on the river bottoms, even with spikes the metal spikes did wear down and it became more of a hazard to wear them so I am now strictly a felt guy any kind of boot with felt regardless if it’s frog togg, Simms, or an Orvis boot . Frog tog boot is a good quality boot, and like I said, it’s never fell apart on me outside the fact that they felt will wear down
