Anybody know where to buy waders?

[porsche4life]

I am looking to buy a pair of hip waders for fishing but all I am finding are boot type. Anybody know a cheap place to buy stocking foot hip waders?

These are the boot ones I find.

get the ones with felt soles. much better traction.

Well in this area it is more mud less large rocks.

cabelas and bass pro off the top of my head...fly fishing store nearby? They're usually stocked. Back in the day 2mm stocking foot could be had at Big5 sporting goods (west coast)...great for going in at night on motorcycles and a 6 pack practicing catch and release on bass in south San Diego.

Thanks for the links guys. Looks like I may have to pay up to get the stocking feet.

Kinda leaning towards these.

how cold is the coldest water? What kinda wading shoes?

[porsche4life]

The coldest I have gotten into is in the low 50s. It gets much colder than that and I pack my **** and go home.

Air temp in the mid 80s at the hottest.

I have those shoes that I have been wearing canoeing.

[lowyder993s]

gotta watch the mud depth...if you're gonna cheap out w/ skate shoes or something like that you'll be in trouble if the mud sucks the shoe in. I got pulled outta thigh hi waders ducks hunting...6" water 2' of mud...was a miserable day, but we slayed them!

i used to have to stop every few minutes to bust ice from the guides on my fly rod....was glad to have neoprene then.

don't have any trout streams where i live now so my wader usage is all hunting. mud, cold, rough treatment. cabelas boot foot, lug soles, breathables. paid something under $200 and could not be happier. i HATE the effort of neoprenes with separate boots (used simms felt sole back when). these just slide right on and i'm off. not to mention with thick mud i never have to worry about loosing my boot.
