What are you guys wearing for waders and wading boots these days?

I will literally pound the table and second your recommendation for these waders too. I think they're the best by far.
I just can't see the fascination with stocking foot waders and wading boots...

Really suck for the outer cape
So/so for the canal
Fantastic for terrain like Cutty or jetty stuff (though arguably a wetsuit is better).
Too cold for winter trout.

I was thrilled when I made the switch to stockingfoots/wading boots for most of the fishing I do, but found I had to buy a second pair of bootfoot waders to cover more formal occassions.

See, myself....I can't stand bootfoot waders. They always seem to "float" on my foot as I walk in them and I don't get the ankle support I want with them.

Bootfoot are good for the sand (I still don't like them, though) but I want Stocking foot w/ boots for the rocks.

might Just be me......but not a fan

my beans have a gortex sock, I don't like the neoprene sock. A size 14 foot is nearly impossible to find comfortable foot wear.

I hike nearly 10 mi with my stockingfoot when we hit the Rapid River so I like wearing a lighter pair of hiking type boots.

when I fish the salt on the beach, I wear high top sneakers,
When I fish on the rocks I wear my studded boots.

My preference and opinion, it just works well for the types of fishing I do.
