I know a lot of the guys around here really prefer to do things the right way, however there's really no need for "wading boots" per say. Common canvas "desert boots" (circa Operation Desert Storm) have been my go to, until Sportsmans Guide ran out, and now I can only find posh hipster versions for 100 bucks a pair. I'm using an old pair of duck boots, going on 2 seasons now, no complaints. I would highly recommend Cabela's brand waders because of the customer service factor. Breatheables will develop leaks much faster, and are much more fragile than neos. I wear my neos from October to May, the rest of the time I spend in the kayak and wet wading.
