question about wading boots

[Nebe]

if you fish sand, dont switch..

I fished a sandy spot alot last year and now my waders are trashed because the sand that got into the boots ground numerous holes in the stocking feet area of my LL bean waders.

thanks for the info guys, I'm gonna get em' at cabelas because I returned my old waders cause of a leak and the stockingfoot ones are less expensive, so they're giving me a credit. maybe I'll call them and ask about the sizing.
Nebe - that's exactly why I've always gone with bootfoot because I heard that a lot, but over the past two years, I mainly fish rocks, so sand is not really a problem.

I was looking into Cabelas for a new pair of boots last month and I remember reading that you should order wading boots in your normal shoe size. As others have mentioned, go up to the next size if you wear a 1/2 size. I never got around to ordering them. Thanks for reminding me.

guys - FYI - just got off the phone with Cabelas and they said their boots are designed to accomodate the neopreme foot of a stockingfoot wader, so you should order normal size.

I have some Cabelas wading boots and they're great, the backcountry model that sell for $60 I believe. I generally wear an 11.5 shoe so I got the 12 and they fit perfectly.
