Myth. It doesn't make you sink, and it won't make you "turn turtle" and float feet up.

If its a myth then why is everyone paranoid about wearing a wading belt?

The belt does help to keep cold water from getting down in your junk. Plus, they look cool.  Yeah, right. |
The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

I did a little bit of internet research and found the reason for the wading belt.
You won't sink like a stone if you don't wear one. The reason it is important is when you are trying to get out of a situation. Without the belt your waders fill up fast with a lot of water so if your trying to pull yourself up a bank or back onto a jetty your going to have to deal w/ a couple of hundred extra pounds of water as well as your weight. Middle of the night, on slippery rocks that could be a potentially life ending situation.
