Re: looking for a wader/boot recommendation
One thing I can share is not buy the ones from Dick's Sporting goods. The $40 and $50 dollar ones with vulcanized rubber. I only use them to launch my boat during early spring and late fall and they don't last more than a year. I contacted the company and the lady told me to use a conditioner like Armor All. Yet, if you do some research, some mentioned stuff like Armor all will actually eat away your rubber.
My newest pair (yes, I bought another one because I had a gift card and it was on sale this year), it's been going pretty good. I lay them flat during storage now and keep them indoors vs leaving them in the garage as temp change and sun will kill your boots. Nothing is worse than launching in 40 degree water and your socks and part of your calves are soaked in 10 secs.
Put your money into a good one and keep them inside during non-use.
