The trick that the die hard steelheaders around here use is BOOTFOOT
neoprene waders. The heavy contiguous bootfoot keeps the water further
away than the stocking foot with a separate boot, and there's usually more
room in there for heavier socks. The boot should be loose to promote
circulation.


I had a bootfoot pair of neoprenes for years. Replaced them with
stockingfoot, and found that if you are doi8ng a great deal of walking,
the stockingfoots are way more comfortable.
