Hip boots / knee highs?
I'm looking to pick up some shorter boots for fishing areas where wading isn't an option like jetties and rocky shore with deep water in tight. Maybe some of you canal guys have some good recomendations. I'll be doing a bit of walking in some places, so they have to be pretty comfortable. I was looking at some neoprene hippers from Cabela's, as well as some of their rubber Muck boots. I have an older pair of rubber hippers I use sometimes now, but they are not too comfortable on longer walks.

Rubber knee high boots and splashpants. If you go the hip boot route, try them on first, some much more comfortable than others. Or you could just get a bike  |

Picked up my knee highs at wilcox marine supply in galilee around the corner from pt judith. Very comfortable can wear and walk in them all night and day.

I wear the knee-highs with splash pants when it's too cold to get wet on the outer beach. Same pants I wear with foul weather top in the boat. I've got a pair I bought on sale at EMS three years ago. They were made for skiers and are dam near industructible and light as a feather.
