[cool][#0000ff]Good luck in getting your new waders and footwear. You probably don't need to worry much about it until spring approaches. By that time there will be spring sales and new products available on the market. Keep your eye on the suppliers for announcements and sales.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One point that a lot of us do not really consider. The main reason we wear booties or water shoes over the neoprene foot sections of our waders is to protect them while walking on potentially hazardous surfaces between the time we put them on and the time we hit the water. It is OKAY to walk a short distance without a hard sole but not advisable. If you are going to carry your gear a ways from the vehicle, you can wear ANYTHING that will protect the bottom of your wader feet...strap on soles, sandals...even a cloth bag.[/#0000ff]
