If you figure it out then let me know! I go through them about the same way! I am going to use a good sturdy pair of wadding boots this year and see how I do. I know they look goofy as heck but if you every see me you will know why I just dont care! lol
As long as you don't care about the look Alan, you've got lots of options for these:
The Nite Lite Coon Hunter II
The Muck Woody Bayou
Cabela's Tundra Hip Boot
Valley Creek will add hips to muck boots and lacrosse boots, but they won't guarantee their waterproofing to be 100%
Cabela's Millenium Hunting Wader Jeans
