On the velcro straps. I have been using two pair of Bass Pro velcro strap boots for the past nine years. I wear a sz 8 shoe, one set of boots I wear in the summer time are sz 8. In the winter I wear a second set of neoprene booties and use the sz 9 boot. The Velcro straps do make things a lot easier on your back. I had one strap break last year, they seem to hold up pretty good. The draw back, If you get into weeds or moss in the river bottom, at times it will open the strap. The straps need to be cleaned once in a while to remove the crud from the Velcro. The only other drawback is if fishing from a boat, the fly line will find it's way into the straps.

Hiy'all,
Just in for a minit- headed back to the atv park with some friends visiting from Texas.
Question:
My old wading boots don't fit my feet now with the neoprene booties on my new waders. I wear a 10.5/11 shoe size, and a friend let me borrow his Size 12 Cabela's master guide boots. Problem is, these size 12 fit my sock feet, without the booties. With the booties, I can't even get my foot in them. I called Cabela's, and they said to order my normal shoe size, but I doubt that will work. I'm leaning on trying the size 13, since that's all they have over the size 12 in the velcro straps.
1. What gives with the sizing? Does it take 2 shoe sizes over for neoprene booties?
2. Any drawbacks to velcro straps? They'll be easier on my back to cinch up. Do they stay together well? Do they function well in real cold water, like, with ice in it?
Any advice/experiences would be appreciated. DonO
