Hodgman® H-Lock™ Locking Interchangeable Sole System


Columbia, SC – Hodgman® has a solid foundation of giving anglers confidence of sound footing while fishing. The Hodgman H-Lock™ Locking Interchangeable Sole System provides a wading boot system that anglers can trust, knowing they possess the ability to attack any terrain using the wade boot system. It’s the most innovative and intuitive wading product on the market and is available only on Hodgman Vion, Aesis and H5 wade boots.The Hodgman H-Lock Locking Interchangeable Sole System allows anglers to swap soles for ideal traction control in any terrain or aquatic environment. The dual lock system holds the sole securely in place. Once engaged the sole will not come off unless both the front and rear locks are disengaged simultaneously – rendering all other removable sole systems obsolete. Soles are available in felt, studded felt, WadeTech® and studded WadeTech.

The Hodgman Vion wade boot features waterproof nubuck leather and is fully neoprene lined with a 3D molded toe guard. The Vion wade boots come in sizes 7 – 13 and come available with two interchangeable sole options – WadeTech and Felt, or WadeTech and WadeTech Studded.

The Hodgman Aesis wade boot utilizes the BOA® M2 closure system for quick adjustment on demand. The Aesis wade boot also features an abrasion resistant synthetic upper construction and a reinforced rubber toe.

These boots are constructed from abrasion-resistant synthetic material, and for added durability sheet rubber protects high wear areas. Each step with the Hodgman Vion, Aesis and H5 wade boots is light, as the innovative draining system of the sole drains water from the bottom of the shoe and cleans the track system free of debris. These boots are saltwater ready with corrosion resistant hardware and the D-ring on the tongue provides a secure location for attaching gravel guard hooks.

The Hodgman Vion, Aesis and H5 wade boots utilize double and triple-stitched panel construction for long-term durability required by anglers who spend many days on the water each year.
