It's about time for a new pair of wading boots.

Having taken a bad fall rock climbing in my misspent youth, I have special
needs in ankle support. I always wear ankle braces, beneath my waders,
but nonetheless uneveness of terrain and resulting flexing of my bad ankle
often takes most of the fun out of fishing. This is the major reason I
fish mainly meadow waters and avoid places like the Madison below Quake,
where even the trails TO the water can cripple me, let alone any actual
wading.

Any suggestions for boots that provide exceptional ankle support while not
weighing a ton ? ... I'll want studs, for the same reasons of wading
weakness

Thanks, in advance.

No recommendations for boots, but I recall using ankle support inserts for
ice skating when I was a kid. Presumably some such thing is still available
somewhere. If you can find them, simply take a pair with you when you try
on wading boots and select whatever size will accommodate the inserts.
