I thought Wilson had found a good wader, the Hodgeman boot foot, come to find out they are garbage. Mine leaked all over after a few months. I got the White River stocking foot from BassPro and so far so good. Any cheap wading shoe will do. I always used the one piece waders but went to the stocking foot with a wading shoe, I really like it. I would stay away from felt sole as they tend to separate from the shoe in short order plus many states are making the felt sole illegal now due to the fact the felt holds spores of unwanted guests the get transported around the water ways. Just make a wading stick out of an old ski pole and you will be fine.
