I am looking to purchase my first pair of breathable stockingfoot waders/boots, and have a budget of approximately $250. It seems that Simms, Cabelas, and LL Bean all have good customer service/quality/guarantee. Ideally it would be nice to try them on especially the boots, but the only shops locally are a Gander Mountain as well as an Orvis dealer. LL Bean currently has a promotion were they are giving one $10 coupon per day for $50 or more spent. So the Emerger Waders/Boots could be bought for $150, and would receive $20 worth of coupons. Also, Korkers seem like they would be nice having the benefit of being able to replace soles depending on need. Any input on waders and boots would be appreciated.
