Hip boots?
Any suggestions on a good source of quality hip boots? Previously my various pairs of hip boots have had snaps/laces at the calf as well as the belt connection. Waders I'm finding (and the pair I purchased) lack the calf snaps/laces. Wading through oat meal consistency muck works better for me with the older style. Any suggestions?
I hear ya! I liked the older style better, too - for exactly the same reason. I'll be interested in the replies, too.
After researching hip boots I settled on Chota Hippies. They should arrive today. I will keep you posted.

great choice
I love the Chota Hippies. The one drawback is that they are thinner than I thought. I wouldn't want to bushwhack wearing them, though they are light enough to put in a backpack.

Update: The Chota Hippies leaked almost right out of the box. Chota told me to send them back, at my expense, close to 20 bucks. I am not happy,

Do keep us (certainly me!) posted, as I'm in need of a replacement myself.
How disappointing. Mine have been fine, but not much time in the water yet,maybe 4 hours.
I have been using Frogg Togg stocking foot hoppers for two years now. Light weight but have been working fine so far.
