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.

That's certainly true. So long as the boots fit loose enough, and you're
wearing the right kind of socks, you should be OK. I don't like or wear
bootfoots myself.

Another trick is to find something besides felt soles, so you're not
walking on ice!

I like my breathable stockingfoot waders, I layer underarmor, poly-pros, and
fleece as necessary for conditions, works well for me. As far as felt soles
go, my wife just bought me a pair of Korkers, I will be testing the
different interchangeable soles as often as she lets me this winter. Anyone
here have any input/opinions on Korkers?
