Stockingfoot Waders question

[Lard Almighty]

If you're only using the waders for freshwater, then stocking foot will offer a better fit and be more comfortable. Just be sure to get the proper sized wading shoe; too tight or too loose and you will blister like crazy!

If you are even THINKING about using the waders for surf fishing, go boot foot. It is impossible to keep sand out of wading shoes, even using duct tape as gravel guards. A few pounds of wet sand in your shoes makes walking the beach very unpleasant.

Seeing that I have Good Friday off to I zipped out of work a little early with my New Orvis waders to try them on. They are light weight and look to be well made. Problem is the boot foot size 12 is not a 12, more like 11 1/2. Too small for me. I called to exchange them for a 13 and surprise....they don't make a 13 in a large wader body.
I will have to get an XL wader body to get a size 13 boot. I don't think anyone that is 6'2 - 175 lbs would be considered an XL.
I'm still on the fence as to whether return them or exchange for the XL.

Sucks you can't find any quality equipment anymore in the sport shops that are left. Buying articles of clothing over the internet is always a hassle.
