Had a pair 35 years ago, if memory serves, they were rubber and dry-rotted after a year or so. I'm looking to buy a pair of average cost/quality for use maybe a few times a year in the spring and fall for river wading - without them going bad in a year. Probably don't need chest high, waist high or thigh high might be good enough - I don't plan on going in too deep at my age in a strong current - and I can't swim - just want to get out further from shore for some flexibility in areas I can't reach from shore.
Looked at BassPro & Cabella's just for info and ideas. Don't understand the difference in many types & materials (rubber, nylon/new stuff). For instance, "boot-foot" to me means they have a built in boot, all one piece, like the old ones of 35 years ago. So, what are "stocking-foot" and how do they work?? Do you wear a separate boot? If so, how do they keep you dry?
Then there are "breathable" and "insulated"?????? Lug soles & felt soles????
Any help & suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
