For me it is strickly stocking foot breathables , with studded wading boots. I can get double duty out of the boots and use them with my wetsuit and help cut on costs.
I have 2 pairs of the Bean emergers and 2 pairs of the studded wading boots. With a price drop and Bean compensating the price difference via a gift card and me then purchasing a second set i think I am all in for about $300 with a lifetime warranty. If one pair breaks down I have the other to use until it gets back to me.
I fished an average of 5 nights a week last year and had no issue minus a small leak in the waders which was quickly replaced by bean.
