they have a fantastic gravel guard, no sand gets in mine, I went with the stocking foot because they are very comfortable, so far so good....... |

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, 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.

None at all, the gravel guard is built into the waders, the bootie itself is very heavy duty and so far no problems at all.
As for the shoes, I use the Simms L2 Wading shoe with felt sole, I also have the L2 In aquastealth sole with the studs and interchange there use depending on where I am fishing, Overall My nod goes to the felt sole for comfort and on most rocks I really dont have a problem with the felt.
I fished everyplace on Block Island with the felt and had no trouble...... |

kippy, gravel guards aren't made to stop water...they stop "gravel/sand/debris" from getting within the seam of the ankle. That point is a pivoting point and any debris trapped in those wrinkles will wear out the neo in that area....best thing is to swim nekked |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Hook holes are possibly the easiest repair when it comes to breathables, they are easy to see and unless it's a big hole just a dab of Aquaseal should make them as good as new. |
