Just got a pair of 3mm neoprene stockingfoot waders and boots, What do I
wear under them, just my underwear? Honest answers only ok. I feel stupid
enough just asking this question.

3mm alone ain't gonna save your ass in 40F water, so you wear whatever you
need to account for the expected water temperature.

That might range from just sweatsocks and skivvies when the water is in the
60s, to really good thermal underwear and thick wool socks when fishing with
ice in the guides...

/daytripper (frankly, I'd have gone with breathables plus some nice fleece...)

forgive the faux pas of replying to my own post, but I should have mentioned
that some neoprenes are the living Devil to get on over bare skin - and even
worse to get *off* bare skin.

when I still used neoprene waders I did in fact always wear *something* on my
legs, even if vestigially thin (like jammie bottoms) just to avoid the
near-death experience of taking the waders off on a warm day...
