My first pair of waders leaked in the booty after less than a year. I tried multiple times to repair the leak to no avail. Leaks in neoprene are notoriously difficult to fix. The manufacturer refused to fix them, so I suffered with wet feet until I upgraded to the Simms waders I'm using now. So I'm afraid my answer to leading neoprene waders is new waders.But you might have a better manufacturer being your waders than I did. I would try contracting the manufacturer to see if they can do anything. If their answer is no, you might be SOL
