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.

when i first started, i used bootfoots. they were miserable if
any real walking was involved, and hiking was damn near suicidal.

but, if you are just going from the car to the stream, i suppose
they are ok.

I'll second that. I still use bootfoot hippers (no comments, Reid)
sometimes, but I won't use them if I have to walk more than a few
hundred yards.



Orvis just came out with these: http://tinyurl.com/5f8xp



hmm, they look great timmy, but you must have forgotten that i'm living on a
student budget :-)

, but only in men's sizes. The other problem with bootfoot waders is
drying them after a dunking.

student budget or not, I would be careful about buying the three forks
denier waders. I had a pair that kind of desintegrated after 2 seasons.
of course, I was not careful about storage after fishing, but still.

the best "budget" waders I have are a pair of orvis bootfoot hippers
that are going on their fifth season,purchased on sale at the local fly
shop for less than $40.

of course hippers have limits, but the point is be careful about "bargains".
