Waders- your favorite?

[chief10]

a good breathable bootfoot for the beach (orvis silver label) and a more durable stocking foot for climbing around rocks. I prefer a wading boot over bootfoot for the rocks because there is less fatigue on your feet. no ankle turn or your feet getting crushed between rocks. plus most bootfoots don't come with studs on the bottom. cabelas makes a couple of good inexpensive waders and boots.

The thing I like about the LLBEAN west branch breathable waders is that the "boot" is an integral, lightweight wading shoe with "aquastealth" soles that grip rathar well and don't involve felt. I do wear korkers with them, as needed though. I'd like to see someone come out with something similar. Most bootfoots are bulky and heavy and stocking foots don't survive the sand. I fish both rocks and sand.
