Expecting my brookie fishing adventures will get a little more common this summer, as leaving the wife with kids isn't as much burden as it used to be.
Used to wear chest waders for this. But given that I have more expensive gear now, trying to keep the wear off of the waders, and thinking wet wading may be the way to go. I could go the neoprene sock and regular wading boot route, but am tempted by the thought of a little more athletic, hiking style boot for wet wading. I don't want to go all the way to the sandal/low top route as I do get into some gnarly places, and some upper support is needed. But some hybrid between "wading boot" and "low top water shoe" would fit the bill.
Like the concept. Expensive, but have $200 plus cabelas bucks burning a hole. Considering it. Anyone have experience with them? Sizing? Polypropylene wet wading sock or sock free? Does the footbed bend some like a hiking boot, or are they stiff like a wading boot?
