Is it safe to assume buying a half size larger for the stocking foot of the wader to have room? Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated!

I like the Simms waders....freestone stocking foot. I am not sure if
all manufacturers offer it ...but for each size they offer a King
version, which has a bit more girth. I am 5'11", 210lbs, 35"
waist....and I have been getting the King....I like the extra room.
My last pair of these lasted me 6 years. I am on a new pair this
season. I usually buy last years models, as it it is the only time they
go on sale. Usually they will drop under 200.
A lot of guys like the omnitrax and regular Korkers. There are also a
bunch of guys using the simms boots paired with gripstuds. If you
do a search for gripstuds, you will find plenty of info.

We are all doing something wrong.
The fishery is hurting and if you are just starting out it may be very
frustrating to be without positive reinforcement. Even those of us
who have been doing it for a few years have the same thoughts you
do because the fishing has been difficult. Did we forget how to fish?
Not much to say, other than you need to work harder than before
to find fish. If you are just starting out, joining a local surfcaster's
club may be really helpful.
good luck!
