I looked at the Beans boots and they are nice, a variation of one of their hiking boots, probably why you have to go up a size or two. I ended up getting the non-studded Cabelas boots because sometimes I don't want a studded sole and sometimes I do. I use the Hodgman studded sandals and they work great, more flexible than Korkers so they don't shed their cleats as easily. So for about the same price as the Beans wading boots, I get a setup that I feel is more versatile, plus when the cleats on the Beans boots wear out I believe you have to replace the entire sole of the boot, on the Hodgman sandals you can just replace individual cleats. I do use the Beans breathable waders and after a full season of use I have no complaints.
