Just the best wading shoes ever made.  Unfortunately, the company that made them sold out to Adidas, who promptly discontinued that model.  I have three pairs in my normal size, and two pairs in a bigger size to wear over my waders, which I got as soon as I realized they were being discontinued.

What are the best wading shoes that you can get now?

I honestly don't know.  A wading shoe for Ozark streams needs to have a sole that doesn't slip on rocks, needs to drain quickly and dry quickly, and needs to keep out gravel.  I don't know of anything that has all three of those attributes.

For me, keeping gravel out is #1 and if you wear ankle socks inside your wet-wading shoes it fills the voids and helps....but your feet are gonna be soggy all day. 

After lots of slow-healing, partially infected puncture wounds, and multiple cases of trench foot I have finally discovered the answer..... 

2 or 3 on the bottom of each foot before you go.  Problem solved.
