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.

These are outstanding and a good value. Just make sure that you get the right sole for the kind of fishing you are doing or the surface you are on. If you’re on slippery seaweed cover rock, you don’t want the hard soul you want the soft one for grip. Also make sure that you go a full size up from your normal shoe size because you need to fit the waders inside. Then they feel awesome.

I bought these wading boots for a trout fishing trip in North Carolina. They fit great and worked great with my warders.We were in a rather swift, sometimes hip deep river. The felt bottom really helped grip the slippery rocks. They made me feel much more secure with my foot placement. NOTE to self and warning to you. The felt sole DOES NOT grip well on steep leaf covered banks. Ask me how I know? Yes, I busted my tail hard and twice, trying to get down to the river. But once I was on the rocks or in the river I was fine. The size runs pretty true so order your regular boot size and you should have plenty of room for your neoprene wader stocking. The boots drain water good and they dried out overnight. These are great boots for a good price. Overall I do recommend these boots.

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

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.

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.

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.

Great boot. Perfect fit. Just got back from a week of salmon fishing in Alaska. These were great.
