Yeah if you wade wet in summer then I would go neoprene. Sure does feel good to able to fish 3-4 hours without your legs going too numb.

Also DO NOT GET FELT SOLED boots for winter fishing. I made that mistake and was skating most of the time because the felt was absorbing the water and if you get out of the water and start stepping on snow, the air temp freezes it. My buddy was wearing rubber boots and he didn't have that problem. Not sure if anyone else has had that problem, but man it sure can ruin a fishing trip if you happend to slip and break something.
