I used these to wade into a lake behind my house to pull dock pilings to replace the dock. I have large legs and couldn't fit my pants in the legs. Thus, I went without pants. The feet shoes are comfortable to wear without socks. The elastic straps on the leggings worked well to keep the waders up. On the downside, if you will be working with water near the top, I'd recommend the waders with a higher top.

Great waders for lauching boat in fall water temps. Keep socks and pant dry. Felt keeps you from slipping on wet mossey launches and rocks.

Excellent hip boots. Highly recommend. Very durable, on tough terrain, comfortable, holding up very well.
