In the next week or so, I'm going to buy waders. I've never owned waders in my life. What should I get? I am always fishing the river and I don't wade until the water is warm enough for shorts and tennis shoes. I'll also be fishing mountain streams. I need a material that will last on longer hikes and that is comfortable. I prefer waders with boot bottoms, not stocking foot. I don't know which soles to get. Any suggestions?

Do felt soles last long? Will felt hold up to walking along RR tracks to get to my favorite spots on the river?

How about Hodgman neoprene lug sole waders? Anyone have any knowledge of this brand? Is neoprene a good choice?

Hodgemans took a real nosedive in quality the last few years. Neoprenes hold water and get heavy to. If you throw neoprenes in the trunk of your car, they'll drain all over the place. If it were me, and I was going to be doing alot of walking, I'd go with wading shoes and Redington Waders. I've had my current Reds for quite a few years now, and just upgraded to the CPX Waders. Dollar for dollar, they can't be beat. www.redington.com/
