Orvis Clearance Sale going on

My experience has been that in the rocks, Korkers offer the best grip, but studded wading boots are good enough, far more comfortable, and offer much better ankle support (which is equally important in avoiding falls). In the sand, wading boots quickly become very uncomfortable....and I ended up buying a 2nd pair of bootfoots. Starting out, bootfoots and korkers probably give you the most versatility for your expenditure, but if you live in the rocks get some Simms G3s and a pair of studded boots.

While I have heard the horror stories about wading boots filling with sand mine, LLBean ultralights, have not had that issue.
I have had some close calls tripping with Korkers because they stick so far below my feet and they make my legs tired after a couple of days. The weeds in Maine and NH are worse than Mass and RI because of the larger tides but I would still rather push the weed out of the way than deal with the Korker leg weights.

I am going to be sending in my Silver Labels to see what they want to do for me..... not leaking, but I get damp...but they have at least three seasons on them! Would definitely get another pair. LLBean is my other pair, much heavier material.
