I suppose it all centers around what kind of water one is going to be wading in.

My wading days in waist deep water are about over, I'm not as stable as once upon a time. So these days hip boots are the limit to keep me in knee high water. And that's cool/cold water. There are a couple of streams I'll wade even as the water warms some and there I still like just plain ole' angle high canvas sneakers along with blue jeans, and I'll slosh around and try and catch something. Also, what I do depends on the what kind of a stream bottom I'm wading around in - like a gravel or sandy bottom, like to wade light, water temp permitting. Nothing elaborate in price, something like I posted below (if it posts!).
