Stockingfoot vs Bootfoot Waders???

[Parker650]

I got a pair of proline stocking foot waders from #^&#^&#^&#^&'s with boots for around $140 I think...I've abused them and they still keep holding up very well. They aren't the best, but they are super comfortable, lightweight and work well, what more could you ask for?

Bootfoot waders are added weight (vulcanized rubber), and can be the first place to leak.
Stocking foot waders require wading boots, but if you aren't rock hopping, I've gotten away with wearing an old pair of sneakers.
I ordered my waders and boots from Cabella's (3mm) and they have worked well for the past 3 years with only minimal leakage that Aquaseal easily fixed.

The key to prolonged life of waders and boots is to rinse them off regularly (prevents rust on boots).
