yup, got 2 seasons out of a pair, good deal for short money.

I have a pair of gra-lite waders from last year for just spring and fall. Have a pair of Cabela's for summer.
Gra-lite (made in Illinois) now use a more flexible material on their boot foot waders (still non-breathable ruberized material used for chemical protection suits). Much better than the older material but just as bomb proof. The boots are the most comfortable boots you can imagine-like walking in slippers. Yes you get sweaty inside on a long hike but I have been putting them in a carry bag for hikes to Napatree and other treks. They are a lot warmer than breathables and no sand problems as with stocking foot waders. Hose off and they look new. Again-not for all year long but when its 55 degrees or less I love em. Plus you get to look old school. Rob Cohn |
Re: simms bootfoots:
Thank you for contacting Simms Fishing Products. At this time we do not offer a Bootfoot wader due to the boot manufacturer. We are hoping to have a new bootfoot wader in production by the end of the summer and as of right now the research and development team has it under tight wraps. We appreciate your support and interest in our products and hope to have what you are looking for in 2007. ___________ I will come def. be back in 07 to check our their new bootfoot and probably get another pair of Hodgemen Guide bootfoots (~$220), these were pretty good and lasted 2 hard seasons (5Xper week use May-Jan (I use them for scalloping too) but I would like to try out a pair of real high end waders that don't collect sand in the shoe. So far none exist as far as I know. |

I'd like to get a pair of those G3's in bootfoot also, I hope they will make a size 14 I use Orvis clearwater breathables, 3 years old and they still suit me fine other than a couple hooks puntures they don't have any leaks yet. |
Size 14! Jeeeeeezzzzzzusss, Slip, do those qualify you as a navigational hazard?

I have always worn neoprene, generally cheap ones, Hodgman or Redhead Bone Dry.... Got a pair of stockingfoot breathables this year, cant remeber the model, from cabelas... I kept my neoprenes which are more aquaseal than rubber as a back-up pair... we'll see... By the fall they will leak somewhere... |
