What boots do you wear with fishing waders?

When it’s cold outside you’ll need to layer up under your waders, but that doesn’t wearing your jeans or a pair of insulated snow pants. Don’t wear denim or anything cotton. That’s the first rule of winter for any outdoor pursuit, and it’s especially important when you’re trying to transport moisture vapor.

Should you wear socks with wading boots?
While there are plenty of socks out there made specifically for wet wading (we like the Simms Wet Wading Sock), most any cotton, lightweight wool, polypropylene, or neoprene sock will do. However, we prefer to wear socks long enough to roll back over the top of the wading boots, while still remaining high on the ankle.
