canvas wading boots Ive had a pair like these for 10 years. I use them on the banks, in the creeks, trout stream, and on my kayak. Highly recommend.

I bought a pair of Game Winner rubber hunting boots from Academy for $44. I bought one size larger than normal and they fit perfectly over my stocking foot waders. They are light durable and get good traction. I do a lot of duck hunting and kayaking and I have found these to be my favorite.

I wear the Everlast Reef Boots that Academy carries over my stocking foot waders. My foot is a size 12 and I buy the 15s to fit over my waders. Works well for me...

I prefer the breathable hip wader with neoprene attached at the feet. The boots that work best for me is the Cabelas wade boot with the felt sole to reduce slipping.

I wear 12's too and my size 14 zip up boots (Academy $30 version) sometimes don't zip over the wader stocking feet! I think the lace-up style boot would be a better choice.

I hope I'm not to late Tony but be sure to buy boots 2 sizes bigger then you wear so they fit over the neoprene foot on your waders.

I've found that for fishing where you aren't walking on rough terrain, etc. that wearing the bootied waders and wearing the cheap slip on water shoes works best. Even with the neoprene built-in booties, I think having a wet boot or shoe on takes some heat from your feet. In fact, I often remove my shoes once on the yak and let things dry out and only put the shoes on once out of the yak - it's also the most comfortable. Of course, if you need something more substantial, I have had good results with the zip up neoprenes and also the "flyfishing" lace-up felt soled wading boots.

Good to hear you found some.
Keep us posted on how you like the ones you purchased.
I prefer the ones that don't stick in mud and are light, yet durable over a year or two, even over shell.

My waders have a size 13/14 foot, where can I find some bigger wading boots than that? I don't mean to hijack the thread on anything though, I just need some suggestions
