Wader Question

[Terry Beeson]

Bass Pro has them... click here....

I would bet Michael at Backcountry Outfitters could set you up with some 15s...

Dang... now I know what Ol' Santy can bring me this year!!

Wow, what a response!! Looks like everyone is in agreement about 2 sizes larger. Now to decide on what brand to buy. Looking for waders in middle price range, maybe $150-160. Has anyone tried the Cabela's dry plus?

Thanks Terry Beeson for the Itinirant Angler website. Looks like alot of good info there.

My shoes are only one size bigger but as others have said it depends on the maker. In another brand I might need 2 or even three sizes bigger or might not need oversized at all. Best thing to do is try them on.

I found out the hard way that breathable will not keep you warm like Neo. If you are going to go with breathable wool socks and good thermals (not cheap cotton thermals) are must have items.

I've had several pair of Cabelas Dry Plus breathables and they are excellent waders for the price. I just finished my third season on the current pair.

bass pro still may have some simms lightweight stockingfoots for $99 but we may have to call another store and see what they may have in stock. Good luck and you ost definitely need a couple size bigger on boots because cramped feet are the worst.

I bought Chota boots on the advise of a friend. They are one size larger than my normal shoe. I wear a pair of Redhead wading stickings, and wader pants this time of year. The boot size depends on the brand of boot. I have had men use Simms wading shoes with the same size as their street shoes. I would not buy a pair of wading boots without wdaers on.

I have found that differant brands of wading boots vary widely in size. Orvis boots tend to run narrow. Patagonia boots are wider than most. Simms run much bigger than any other size (I could wear one size smaller in Simms). My suggestion is to try the boots on with your waders and two pair of socks. Be sure and keep a little toe wiggle room.

When we bought our boots we tried them on with the waders. My Orvis boots are three sizes larger than my shoes. Robbie went 2 sizes in her Simms, but she failed to take in to consideration the layers of socks she had to wear when we bought the boots, so she had to go another size up as well.

Bottom line is to try them on with the same level of layers as you are going to fish in. That will save you in the long run.

You'd think big feet would equal stability, WRONGGGGG

My 14's slip and slide like Robs 9's

What type of soles do you all suggest for Taney?

[Danoinark]

Felt and probably nothing else
