Footwear for fishing waders

   If you choose a wader without any boot or shoe on it, you will have to buy one separately. There are a lot to choose from and a wide range of prices. If this is your first pair of footwear or fishing boot, I suggest going to the most expensive place that sales them and get as much information as you can get from the salesperson. Try on all the different types as you can. Try the low tops, high tops, cleats (lugs) and felt bottoms. Once you have picked a style, now go home and call around and find the store that sells that type the cheapest and go there and by them.
   The reason I do it this way is that most salespeople at the more expensive store usually know more about the footwear. The more inexpensive stores I go to you sometime have trouble finding someone to wait on you and they usually don't know much about fishing footwear. Now you can read the information on the box of footwear and  find what you want without a salesperson. Who knows you might just buy the footwear for your fishing waders there. That's me, I usually have a salesperson that has a good personally and is very knowledgeable and I end up just buying them right then and there.
   Be sure you go home and practice getting in and out of your fishing waders and putting on and tying your footwear. You will find that if you practice at home putting them on you don't get flustered when you are at the river trying to go fishing. Now that you feel comfortable putting your fishing waders and footwear, Go Fishing.
   You have now made it possible to fish in a lot more spots. You now do not have to worry about if there is enough area to stand or sit on the bank and keep dry. Also, you can get closer to the spot or holes where the fish hang out and do not have to cast as far.
   Remember, if you are not well experienced with fishing with fishing waders, take it slow and do not go to far out into the water. You need to know the type of bottom on the river or lake and move slowly. you never know when it will drop off quickly. To many fishermen get hurt or even killed by being over confident.
