MattMckay - alot of people get leaky feet because their wading boots rub which inturn wears out the neoprene material faster. Also if you can keep sand, rocks and whatnot out of your boots it will help to prolong the life of your neo feet.

I wore oversize thermal socks on the outside of my neoprenes to help prevent the rubbing against my boots.

I read about this tip and have tried it.  It is a real pain to try to pull a pair of socks over the neoprene.  What I do now is I step into an old plastic Safeway grocery bag before I put on my wading boots.  It keeps the sand and boot from rubbing directly against the neoprene.  Also, if you have some seeping hole in the neoprene sock that you just can't find/repair, the plastic bag helps to keep the water out.
