Hey there Errock2,

It's Hodgeman waders hands down!  I had a pair for ten years.
Left them is 100 temps or covered with snow all year. They've
never worn out but a seam did finlly give out because they
shrank (Ya right) right around the stomach area. Imagine That!
ha ha

Got a different pair/brand (bodyglove, no not a wetsuit)now
but still look longingly at my 'shrunk' ones.

I suggest you get the ones with the booties attached and buy a
pair of oversized tennis shoes at the thrift store.
