After reading Ursus' "leech" thread, I don't think I'll ever wade wet again. Yeeow.

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!

I wear Simms Flats Books.. They are comfortable and mighty tought.
I'm some what catious of wet wading now from the leach thread but I usually just wear normal wading boots...I don't really like sandals too much becuase they lack all the protection boots have.

"GET THE DRIFT?"
I am lucky as I have a pair of Jungle Boots I got from a buddy of mine in the Canadian Forces that I use with smart wool socks. They are nylon and leather with drain holes on the side to let the water out. Wore them the last two times I fished the Winnipeg River up here in Manitoba. Great grip and support, very light, and no leeches!
I must be from the "olden daze",as Rich Ward says above. I use Converse Chuck Taylors with indoor/outdoor carpet glued on the soles http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif

Sandles are dangerous w/o covered toes.
This year I tried using a waterproof, gore tex shoe, like Nikes ACG series. They felt great and dried quickly except there was one major problem. The soles are very hard and stiff so they were heck on the rocks.
I believe the neoprene sock and wading boot will be my next choice.
