Buy the best wader you can afford that can be swapped over the counter at your closeest tackle shop. Most have a decent garantee but actaully swapping them out is a PITA. I have always told people just getting into fishing to spend the bulk on the waders... rods and reels come later but if you are not comfortable you'll never enjoy yourself.
I have a pair of Patagonia (Pata-Gucci) SSTs, They are super tough and garenteed through anything. Pricey on the front end but if you need a pair to count on for a tip of a lifetime... can't go wrong. They are stocking foot which suck in the surf. Unless you like heavy feet. I have a pair of silverlable Orvis bootfool. the oldones kind of orangy tan with the neprene on the top of the boot. I think I am the only one I know that still has a pair that doesn't leak.
Muy 2 cents!
