Hip boots / knee highs?

[Mr. Sandman]

I wear my knee-highs for a lot of coastal activities, herring run, bait gathering some dingy related adventures, I used them once for scalloping (waders are really needed for this). I have tried several brands, all were OK but the best deal I got was a $15 pair I got off of ebay (delivered) and I have 4 years on them now and they are just starting to show wear.Eventually they crack. They take a lot of abuse though. I wear mine alot!
They are great for a lot of activities, checking the eel/crab traps, shallow water bait collecting, and dock and jetting fishing. I think I can squeeze one more season from the cheapos.

Muck brand knee highs are very comfortable and come in a variety of sole styles. You can get them at Agway stores. I've got some Bean lightweight hippers that are pretty good also, I'd buy 'em again.
