Wader boot sizes on wader/boot combo
« on: January 12, 2009, 10:33:18 PM »
I kind of have a preference for those waders that come with Booty. So if thats your gig whats your choice. I like at least a size larger to put two pairs of socks. Plus the fleece pants and long undies. Stocking foot waders tend to bunch up in those lousy boots that you can buy.

Give us an idea of your weight and height. I can somewhat give you an idea with north river and simms waders.
are you sure you want to get the attached rubber gumboot style? not very comfy. Just got get a nice pair of waders, and a used pair of wading boots if you want to keep the price down.

Im assuming you mean boot as in booty.  ::)

I know some peoples booty don't fit in waders too. :) But I meant boots. I have two pair of stocking foot waders and find them a pain in the booty to put on the wading shoes. I actually cut the tongue on my wading shoes so I could put them on easier. Still the sock of those waders is so big it bunches up and is pretty uncomfortable to do any distance in. I found my old cheapo nylon boot waders were easier to ware. So I bought some breathable ones with the boot on them and found them pretty good for most things. I still like the neo stocking ones for the float tube when its cold. I am 5'8" and 180 lbs when not consuming brown pops.

yeah Iv had problems with previous waders, when the neo stocking foot bunches. Iv solved the problem by pulling the heels back and tucking them behind the ankle, no discomfort, feels fine.

People having trouble with the neo. foot sections on stocking foot breathables are just trying to stuff  a foot into too small a wading shoe. Your feet will always be bound too tight with the smaller shoe size as well hence cold feet always. That's why I always recommend 2, TWO, sizes larger than your normal shoe size. A little loose can always be made up with sox or tighter laces. Walkabibility has never been a problem. Trust me cuz I really cover the country.
Have fun..............   2 sizes
