Men's Hellbender Waterproof Fishing Wading Boot for Fishing in Felt or Cleated, Cleated, 13

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' 👍 💥UPDATE 💥 JUNE 22ND 2025 Still look like new Lotta wear Lotta use. I would definitely buy another pair when they get around to wearing out.💥another update💥 june 20th 2026 the felt just came undone on the right boot and the left is showing the start of coming apart.

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.

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.

These are great boots that dry quickly and are light compared to your typical boot. Pair these with your favorite wadders and you will stay nice and dry all day. They have plenty of traction and the sizing is spot on. Please keep in mind that these are made for wadders with socks already installed and you probably want to wear real socks in your wadders so the boots need to roomy for their size.

This being my first experience with wading boots/stocking foot waders, I bought these before I purchased my waders. I purchased my regular shoe size of 11. Upon arrival I tried them on with two pairs of similar socks that I planned to use with my waders. They were extremely roomy, and I was very apprehensive that they would fit even with the stocking foot booties. My waders finally arrived, and much to my pleasure, they fit perfectly. I went out fishing yesterday and did a moderate amount of wading over a spread of about six hours, and they were very comfortable. I wore merino wool socks over Nike moisture wicking socks and the booties of my waders are 4mm. They seem pretty durable and drained moisture out fairly well. Don't be surprised when you take them off and find a bit of water to dump out. They do take quite a long time to fully dry after use, but for a product that is meant to be wet, this doesn't really bother me. Great for the price if you can get them on sale as I did! Will update with any issues in the future if the need arises.

This is my initial review of these boots. I'm new to the whole fly fishing/tenkara thing, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on boots to start with. I heard good things, and the reviews were pretty positive about the Frogg Toggs Hellbenders. I used them for the first time yesterday and I was not disappointed. I bought the felt bottom boots because I was told you'd get better traction with the felt. During this first use they did not slip or lose traction at any point. I bought one size up (14US) from my normal shoe size (13US). These boots were quite comfortable, even while hiking the trail in/out. They felt lighter than I thought they would, and they tied up nice and tight. For the price, I don't think your going to find a better boot in this price range. In all, I was quite happy with their performance. I will update my review as time goes on and as they wear.

I have already purchased four boots and I use them strictly for trout fishing and hiking the mountains to get to my streams . I purchased the felt pair and I use them especially steelhead and trout stream fishing. The average lifespan of a felt boot is about two 2 1/2 years ,yes, if you're an avid fisherman and fish at least 50 times a year for the price they are worth it. I purchased more than a pair for the simple fact that I will not be replacing the felt with new felt frog toggle 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 , the only thing I would recommend with these boots is to replace the insoles as they could be worn out quickly. Idid 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 on the stream, I wore them until the felt wore out , very good boot

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.

These boots exceeded my expectations. Having just returned from 2 weeks fishing in Irish Lough's I can thoroughly recommend them. They are extremely comfortable compared to my old wading boots and for under £50 they are an absolute bargain,

Sono eccezionali spero che durino ma per adesso sono veramente soddisfatto

Received these wading boots a week ago and first impressions are very good. They appear solidly constructed; far better than my old Bass Pro boots which lasted years. I am expecting good things and longevity from these as well. Tried them on with my waders and they are not only comfortable but fit true to size. Nice cleated sole which accepted studs very easily. I have used # 10 X 3/8" plated steel Hex-head screws forever to stud wading boots and found them to be a cheap and effective solution to ANY slippery surface. Looking forward to updating this review once I have had an opportunity to try the boots on-stream. After having used these wading boots several times, my only complaint is that the soles do not hold the stainless steel hex screws that I use for studs; constantly loosing them. Not at all a deal breaker; boots are solid and comfy nonetheless. Using slip on traction aids; no problem.

Misure molto generose

Nice shoes
