Possibly, but they could compress against you as well, making it hard to do that. Remember, they don't weigh more filled with water "IN": the water, so they are not going to fall off.
Best scenario is to keep your head up out of water, get to shallow water to stand up, then get on land, lay on your back, slide the waters down, put legs in the air and empty.
MY story on this, fishing the snake in November. Water was only to my knees, but fast.
Fish on and I turned to see where my fishing partner was. My feet went right out from under me. I put my arm out to stop my fall, but water being as fast as it was, my head was under water and the river flowed straight down to my feet.
What a rush!!!! That was cold!. I woddled to shore, but debated on taking the waders off...by now, the water was getting a little warmer in there (and NO yellow!) just body temp.
I laid on my back and emptied, and kept fishing for another hour...ride home was terrible!....
