This is what I wanted. I had a Hodgeman pair I was happy with and was looking for a replica when these showed up on my web search. These are almost identical. I use these over my breathable waders to walk for a mile or so and when I get to my destination I slip on my fins over them and get into my float tube and out onto the lake.

I purchased the boots to reduce blood circulation in my feet when using my float tube. The problem began when I sat down to try them on with a pair of waders for fit. Take my size 10.5 EE wide foot with a neoprene bootie trying to squeeze my foot into these boots at my local Bass Pro Shop. The person helping me stated most people have to wear at least one size up to compensate for the "regular" width. I found a size 13 allowed my heel to move about, but across the ball of my foot began to fall asleep due to lack of blood. I returned to purchased these boots after investigating to find NO ONE including Simms and Orvis makes a wide bootie. In fact after an exhaustive search of all shoe companies no one makes a wide water shoe. An entire segment of the population is not being met, so one would think at least a single entrepreneur ready to take my money would produce a product that fits. Other than fit the boot appears to be a great value meeting my needs when fishing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by gtarndt used em once
Used em with my waders bass fishing. Worked very well. Ordered size 12 to go over wader boots. I wear 11. 12 1/2 would have been a better fit over the waders feet. Like em a lot.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mchch Appears to be a reasonable inexpensive boot
Haven't used them, yet, but if they hold up for a week in the Bahamas bonefishing they will have served their purpose. Lightweight and good fit.

I use them to go kayaking on river and i have worn them to the beach so long as they are tied tight the sand will stay outDetails:
I have a wide foot, usually EE or EEE in size 12. No store nearby to try on. What size recommended?Answers
A:
As long as your not going to wear this boot over a stockingfoot wader then you might be able to get by with a size 13 boot but if your going to put this over a wader then you need to look at another boot because these boots are not made for people with wide feet.A:
Cheap shoes I need 13 wide. I bought stocking-foot waders in shoe size 13 and ended up buying size 15 wader boots (flats boots not available larger than 13.Size 13 stocking foot has lots of extra room that translates into added material bunching in the boots. Probably better to get waders with size 14+ boots attached.
A:
Get the size 13. It fits me over my size 12 feet with neoprene stocking foot waders.A:
I wear a size 11 shoe and use these in a size 13, which is the largest. That gives me plenty of room for thick socks and stockingfoot waders. So not sure they'll work for you. I will say that they are much roomier in width than the similar Caddis shoe, that I could not wear. Yet they still fit in my covered toe fins. I think a size 13 might work for you, but it might not be enough if you wear thick socks and wader stockings.A:
I have a high instep and usually take a EE 10 wide, so I ordered 11 and it is a little large so I would just go for the 12
Answers
A:
Absolutely perfect for extended wear........... The boots are water proof as long as you keep water depth in check.A:
These will not stop water from reaching your feet. They work well on top of a stocking foot wader and will fit in a covered toe float tube fin. I would not use them to fish a rocky river or for extended hiking. Great for sandy beach fishing or float tubing though.A:
feet get wetA:
The boots are primarily neoprene in construction. They do not have a great deal of support for walking over dry land. I would not use mine for a primary show. As long as you do not wade over the top of the show......it should stay dry.A:
Your feet will get wet with these boots.A:
wear these boots on my kayak. I do get wet and I do step into the water,my feet stay warm and dry.I will be wearing them when I go deep sea fishing.A:
get a size large enough to put a good arch support/liner, and still have room for an acrylic sock. New, they are quite water repellent.A:
No not long range. Your feet will get wet (unless you have extremely large anklesA:
The boots do not fit snugly eough to be considered waterproof.A:
Yes. The only way water can get in is through the very top of the boot. The boot material itself is impermeable.Q:

Has anyone tried using these boots in a float tubing application being worn under fins? How did it work out?
Answers
A:
I wear size 13 booties over stocking foot waders and my size 12 feet. They slipped into my XXL Force Fins nicely. they have a knob on the heel that helps hold up the heel strap.A:
yes they work great I just posted a review about these. I highly recommend themA:
the flats boot is all i wear while tube'n. they are super comfortable. go one size larger to fit over stocking foot waders. would also be great for wade'n in streams with no break'n time. great price also.A:
These work great with stockingfoot waders and covered toe fins, such as those made by the Creek Company (what I own). A similar fin is sold by Bass Pro Shops. I wear an 11 shoe and use these in a size 13. Plenty of room for wool socks and wader stockingfoot without pinching. And still fits in my fins comfortably (have to wiggle the fin a bit to get them off though).Details:
thinking about adding the to the rain gear in my boat.Answers
A:
Absolutely 100% water proof.................A:
Whatever you wear under them will get wet if submerged.A:
I think that they would be great for that. The soles would provide great traction on the boat deck, and being neoprene in construction they would be waterproof too. Plus, they are very easy on and off.A:
Yes.

A:
No they are not waterproof. They are designed to soak up the water and transfer your body heat to that water. They work just like a wetsuit for a SCUBA diver.A:
They are not totally waterproof but will provide some protection and wouldbe non-slip as the bottoms are ridged.
A:
they are waterproofA:
Neoprene allows water inA:
they are not waterproof, and are designed to protect your feet, not keep them dryAnswers
A:
I don't think a Stingrays Barb could penetrate these boots but not 100% sure of it.............. I think you would find that a ray would hit you with a barb if stepped on above the boot line................A:
I'm no expert, but I would think a sting ray barb could penetrate the soft sides of these.A:
Easily!A:
Yes in a secondA:
Probably, I wouldn't try to find out.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Yes. They are not armor plated, just neopreme and a semi hard rubber sole. There are other boots designed for stingray protection. Just walk fairly slow and shuffle your feet along the bottom, the rays will usually scoot away before you can step on them.A:
I think a stingray can get thu anything, but they provide more defense than a tennis shoeA:
Yes, they are just thick neoprene!A:
YesDetails:
I have very lightweight waders and would wear these over my waders.Answers
A:
Absolutely 100%........... I have 4 pair of these. Two for salt water and Two for fresh water....................A:
These are great for fishing sandy beaches and for float tubing. I would not use these on a rocky river or for extended hiking around boulders. Get a sturdier river wading boot for that. Something that will protect your feet and ankles and give you a good grip on slippery rocks and boulders. I still use felt bottoms for that although I will replace those with something less susceptible to spreading invasive species when they wear out.A:
No. They are made for wading on the flats. They have a soft sole and are not durable enough for wading streams or rivers.A:
Absolutely.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
In wearing my lightweight waders[stocking feet] I have found it necessary to go up one boot size.A:
Yes, they are durable enough, but since I stick my bare foot into them, I would think you might need one size larger if you are going to wear then over waders.A:
This is how I use mine. They are a little slippery but it is easier to keep your balance since they are lightweight and you can feel the bottom. I will say mid size rocks can be felt in the arches and can hurt a little.A:

A:
Some of the manufactures have a size conversion chart included in the BPS catalog. Otherwise you will have to try trial and error at the store[most women can relate to this procedure] or check with your fishing friends with a physical shoe size close to yours.A:
You can try them on so go to a store and see. Check catalog. I bought them at Clarsville Store and shoe and flyfishing peersonal were great.

A:
I can't answer your question directly, but I know that mine are not overly wide, so I would think you could find your corresponding mens size and be satisfied. Remember you socks and waders will add bulk.Details:
I have a pair of Breathable Stocking-Foot Waders. I would like to buy a pair of these to wear over my waders as I'm kayaking for stripers, etc. My waders are size 11. Will a size 11 Flats Boot fit or will I have to get a larger size? The wading shes I have were designed to fit so it was a no brainer but I don't wan't to order the wrong size and then have to return them.Answers
A:
Absolutely...........I use the same stocking some of the time. I wear a size 9 and I bought a size 11 and they fit perfect over the stockings....................A:
You should order a size 12. Maybe even a size 13 if you wear thick socks. I wear an 11 shoe and use these in a size 13.A:
These boots fit true to size. In order to fit over the neoprene bootie of your waders, you will need to order at least one size up from your normal shoe size. If the bootie has a lot of "slack" around your foot, you may need two sizes up.A:
I would get them just one size larger, just to be safe.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
My experience is to get a pair one size larger for use with stocking foot waders.A:
I wear a size twelve shoe but I bought the size 13 boot it is easier to get on and off. But they will hold a small amount of water. I would still recommend going up one size
A:
Buying the same size that you wear in a wader boot is a good place to start.If either one of the Bass Pro Shops stores in Virginia is near your home, trying the different sizes of this boot on to find the perfect fit would be your best bet, especially if you will ever use them by themselves out in the surf.
