I'm with Wilson in the boot foot category. Much easier to get on and off. As you get older all that extra bending and lacing with layers of clothing can be a bit of a pain. They are, in general, a little heavier though.

My one bit of advice no matter which wader you go with. Buy from someone like LL Bean who has a no question return policy. If they spring a leak in a year or so, just return them.
