I bought a pair of Herters hip boots last year I like them pretty well. but I have a tear in them, and I have the normal tire patches with rubber cement, doesn't stick at all. The material seems like rubber, but it must be something else like Neoprene or something. Anybody have any ideas?

If it's rubber you need to rough up the area around the tear before applying rubber cement

Aqua seal seems to stick pretty good, but I want a patch.

^ might help if they are neoprene, You said rubber cement didn't work & might be neoprene
I suspect they might be PVC so-

I have found that a good quality Duct Tape (not cheapo Duck tape)has worked on a couple kinds of smooth surface boots.

Aqua Seal is the best. I have a pair of Waders I sealed probably 10+ years ago and they are still sealed.
