FROGG TOGGS Men's Aransas II Neoprene Surf & Sand Waterproof Fishing Wading Boot for Fishing

The Frog Toggs Aransas 2 is an excellent wading shoe. First, it is easy to put on. One can wear a polyester sock or thin neoprene while wearing the shoe. The zipper closure is well built.The shoe has exceptional traction.Now, the Bad: the sizing of the shoe is purely random. I wear a 12. But, after returning a 12 which was actually about a 14, and an 11 that was no different , I wound up in a 10.5 which is still a bit big but I decided to add an insole and wear thicker water socks so they fit and are comfortable.If you wet wade to fish , these Frog Toggs wading shoes grip wet rocks, allow you to hike to the stream in comfort and safety and protect your ankle while giving extra ankle stability.Just prepare to use trial and error to get the right size.Update after multiple uses: I love these . So easy to put on and off. I use them to wade while flyfishing and the sole grips the bottom very well. The ankle support design works well. These are also great for hiking up and down slopes to the stream. For comfort, do add a sport, waterproof type insole which makes your feet happy at end of fishing. These are 5+ stars after you get the right size.Update:Used these for a season and boots are like new. Excellent wet wading boots for all type stream bottoms. Also, excellent for the hike down to the stream which can be much more difficult than the wading in the stream.I recommend putting a gel type insole for added comfort.Now 2 years later ...2023....I have used the boots for several seasons and they are still in great shape . The sole is in like new shape in spite of wading and walking on rocks during every fishing session. The grip on rocks continues to be outstanding . Great ankle support and boot shape are still there. These boots hold up.

I was cautious on what size to order based on a lot of the reviews but I wear a size 12 shoe so that's what I ordered. With normal socks on they are a little big but I bought these to go with my waders that have neoprene stocking feet. These allow for the extra thickness and fit just about perfect, yet aren't too sloppy on their own. If I wasn't wearing them with waders I would maybe go down a size but since I need them for both I really couldn't be more pleased.

Well, I used these for about a year and have probably 20ish miles in em total and then they fell apart. Not bad for the price and they should last plenty long for normal folks. The zipper could use some improvement though. Kept coming unzipped.

Love these shoes. Wanted something water resistant for when I kayak fish but also rugged if I’m trekking through brush and looking out for sharp sticks or snakes, because I will sometimes get to isolated areas and get out and bank fish. Doing so means you step directly in mud and water sometimes. I have found my feet surprising and completely dry after doing so to my amazement. Heads up these do run a little big so consider getting a size down. I sometimes wear a 13 and got these in 12, probably could have gone with an 11 but like to too much to send back and work well even a little loose.

There not waterproof by any means. Not sure 😕 if there worth it

Well built and sturdy.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:They dig into the back of the heel. Probably OK if you wear thick socks, but if you wear lite socks, you’re gonna get a blister

The sizing is clearly all over the place. They are great for walking river beads and kayaking. Absolutely not water proof but also won’t let water out, some how. Water comes in right through the seems. So you walk around with about a cup of water spelching with every step no matter what. I kept losing sandals while kayaking and this fixed that. The bottoms are very solid so they are great for getting swept into sharp rocks or walking loose rock/sand streams.
