Re: Waders?
I prefer stocking foot with a wading shoe. Avoid felt bottom shoes and waders. As good as they are for grip on slippery rocks, I suspect they may be outlawed eventually in NJ. Some states have already done so.
As far as brands, I really liked my LL Bean Flyweight waders. Under $100 and they are well made and a bargain. Very comfortable when the water is warm and when it's cold a pair of thick Polar Fleece pants underneath kept my legs plenty warm. I tore mine badly on a piece of sharp metal while climbing over a guardrail and miss them. I picked up a pair of FlyTech waders on Sierra Trading Post for $50 and they have served me well, however they aren't as comfortable or as easy to put on and take off as the Bean Flyweights.
