Don't smell them.
...no seriously, don't go with padded wading-boots. They retain water longer and are also harder to completely rinse and DRY....and if you're constantly in them....P - yuke. Trust me, I do a LOT of walking and when your using waders...IMO >> the wader bootie is lining enough for comfort. The thinner the wall of the boot, the less it can absorb. I also hang mine upside down to let gravity help with the drainage so it doesn't just sit in the sole until it decides to dry. Mine are going on 2 years and they're not bad at all....aside from falling apart
