You know, I have been thru so many waders in my life ! I am just so impressed with the simms , I think more from a comfort standpoint. As for abrasion, I fished Block Island two weeks ago and was in some craggy, nasty, surf...I was knocked down more than once onto barnicle encrusted rocks etc... while I was bruised, the waders are no worse for the wear. also the breathability is amazing, no more clammy feeling, they wick out moiture very well, and it amazes me because I am never wet. When I started it was all rubber waders and man were those uncomfortable. I really think you get what you pay for in most cases. While I had sticker shock at first I now feel it was the single best investment I made this year in equipment.

For those with stocking foot waders, what wading boot do you like? How about felt vs. Aquastealth or studded vs. unstudded? I'm planning on purchasing a pair of Bean West Branch stocking foot waders but I am still undecided on the wading boots. If I go with unstudded boots, I would also pick up a pair of Korkers.

I've been using the G-3's most of this season and they are definitely the best waders I've ever used -- that includes Orvis, LL Bean, Cabelas, Redington -- all of which leaked...

I would be concerned with G-3s as well as any stocking foot type boot, as beach sand tends to wear holes between the stocking foot and the shoe.

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, do you have any issues with water leaking through the boot? I bought gravel guards for mine but still get some water between the waders and the boots.
