what has been ya'll's experience with bootfoot waders? with spring comin
(soon i hope) i am thinking of getting a pair of three forks 420
denier's, but they only come in a bootfoot for women. so, i'm wondering
about the comfort level of the boot, as well as the maneuverability
factor, and anything else i may not know to ask about. any
*constructive* ;-) input would be appreciated.

thanks-

DON"T get the bootfoot waders! What you have will suffice for now. You
won't fish enough before the water warm up to wet wading. Just continue
to use your neos until the water warms up enough to wet wade.

well, you know my fishing "habits" as well, if not better thatn anyone.
based on previous responses, i came to the conclusion that bootfoot waders
might not be a good idea. as *you*, i frequently do a lot of hiking when i
fish, particularly in the warmer weather. and while i enjoy wet wading so,
so much, there are times i get into water with a lot of "stuuf" in it, and
was thinking it might be a good idea to have something for those occasions.


i'll think about hipsters. i do like to wade in deep(ish) water, though.
and what about the hiking factor with those booted hipsters?
(hmmm, the web site seems to have dissapeared)


t put on a pair of neo booties over them to take up the space in my wading
boots. They are great, as they are light-weight and and will keep your
legs warm with thermals or fleece under them.

Caution: You don't want to step in a hole over your hip waders though, as
you will freeze your ball......

;-)


well you get my drift. They are easy to
empty of water, should you go in over them, as all you have to do is lie
on your back and lift your legs above your head.

i'm gonna kick your ass for that one, op.......


Mark --also, you hike too much for bootfoot waders.--

yeah, i got that impression ;-)

i did some searching today, and i found what seem to be a pretty sweet pair
of women's flyweights from l.l. bean- in a stocking foot.

aside from not really wanting a bootfoot, i am very nearly in love with the
wading boots i have. they are my first pair (sentimental value), they feel
absolutely wonderful on my feet, and i would feel as if i was betraying an
old friend should i slip my pods into anything else- i have developed a sort
of relationship with them. (go ahead, ya'll can laugh if you want g)
plus, they were given to me by a good friend.....

thanks mark, good to have input from someone who knows how i fish
