I have not bought a pair of these in ages. Last pair I bought were Stone Creek. They finally gave up the ship on me earlier this week and I have already patched them too many times.
I have a month before I will need to use them again. Would like to hear from you all about recommendations for $100.00 and under waders to help me make a decision.
I make it through the day by dreaming of my next trip to Port A.

Really depends on what you want outta of them, I bought a pair of Orvis on a 50% close out that I have had for Four years without a single problem. I like the uninsulated ones beause during the months of March and April they keep me warm but do not sweat the daylights outta me and when its real cold, I just wear some cold gear leggings. For a recommendation the Academy brand Magellan look like their pretty nice for about $100.
Keep a tight line!

I used a pair of Magellan neoprene waders for the first time this past weekend....was a little sceptical because I am used to just hoping in with booties...but too cold for that...they were great...no problems with slipping, or sweating, or being cold....just fine for me...the pocket up on the chest is nice as well for spare hooks, (dip if you do it), etc
These had the built in boots so was a little hesitant...but got great traction on the boat and out wading without sinking too much
I have never bought a pair of traditional foot wading shoes/booties...bought a pair of Akona dive booties about 15 years ago for that purpose and they just keep trucking along so havent changed....I am sure that there might be better options out there, but those booties have a thick sole, are neoprene, easy on and off, and have never failed...so it is what it is...hope this helps

I bought a pair of the Magellan camo stocking foot waders for $59 bucks from Academy. LOVE THEM. When it was really cold in Feb they kept me warm (with some thermals under them). I wade the surf so the pocket on the chest was nice as well.
