I don’t get how you guys can get by without insulated waders, beginning of the season my feet sweat a little not much, then I am comfortable up until I am breaking ice to get to sets, then I have to wear wool socks. I always wore chest highs because most of my competitors did not and I could get up or down stream farther. Now right of way trapping is dead and buried in WI so I lost interest in mink trapping. Doesn’t help they are worth nothing.

Also remember we are trying to help a youngster on a budget, that is still growing!

These are cheaper, know idea if they are any good

That's why I originally thought Neoprenes were good because I've heard they keep you warm, I do need a pair of insulated as it's already 47 degrees out and I don't start for another month.
