I'm too cheap to Buy Rubber boots and Cannot waste wader boot
Which last me years around the farm.

That will work.....

I've got pair hip waders used to be chest waders. Blew the crotch out waders. So cut them for hip boots. Don't wear the hip boots enough so have had them for years now. Most my waders by time top are shot. The boots are patched to point not worth saving. Infact got two pair waders probably going in trash come spring. Can only patch the patches so many times. Neoprene starting to detach from nylon shell. So that is death them waders.

You're my new hero 330!

This is funny cause just the other day my wife was joking about how I do this lol. Cheap boots and great for easy on and off.

These old mucks have been my favorite slip-ons for several years. Tops of the mucks didn’t survive the brush.

I do the same as 330 with old chest waders, they become hip boots. Hip boots become rubber boots.

Everyone laughed at me when I did it- they slip on great for running out for tip ups at the cabin and now- the first person to see the flag puts those on and is gone!

I cut mine off just above the stiff line. I do like the short ones above and might do that to mine as well. I have had them for years and use them daily during the winter. I also use them trapping as they fit so well.

Can't say we trappers don't try to get our money's worth.

I do the same-make slippers out of the gum boots.

Just trying to show I don't always pillage and plunder

Can't wait till summer an you make'm into sandals

Hey this is great I bought a really cheap pair of hip waders for my first beaver job... I know what to do with them at the end of the season...

Used to buy them that way when La Crosse had a store at the factory. they cut the top off defective waders and hip boots, wore them for years and the hogs never noticed. Mike

I do that and save the chest wader uppers for weed wacking protection and ice fishing.

That's some kinda cool!!!

Yep it gets muddy in the country often they come in handy at times that’s just 3 demential thinking outside the box.
