Review on Foxelli Camo Neoprene Chest Waders For Men & Women - Waterproof Bootfoot Hunting & Fishing Waders With Boots. by Alonzo Wilkins

In the last 50+ years of using chest waders for the most part these are as good (so far, have used them 7 times for duck hunting) as ones that cost twice as much. They're comfortable and have some nice features. There's enough room to easily get my hands into my pants pocket to hit the unlock on my trucks key FOB. My brand new Columbia waders leaked right out of the box, so it was nice staying dry as I'm breaking through ice chasing waterfowl! On the negative side they definitely run small. I wear a 9.5 to 10 normally, but get the next size up since I wear an extra pair of socks for the late fall hunting and fishing trips. I bought an 11, and was unable to get my foot into the boot with a second pair of socks on. The measure 11" (match my size 11 Columbia's) but I couldn't get my foot down into the boot itself. So far my feet haven't gotten cold though. I'm not crazy about the shoulder straps design, the straps are elastic which make them shorter then other waders I've owned. I've got bad shoulders and it was painful trying to reach back to grab the straps. I added pull straps to them and now I can get them on. I walk through fields and marshes to get to my duck hunting ponds and these are similar to other waders of this type, you pick up every pricker and burr. On a surprise note, as I was walking through the woods I stepped on a broken glass bottle and didn't see any damage to the boot. Only time will tell how well these hold up but overall right now I would buy another pair of these. Small ponds are freezing up too much now, so next I'll be out chasing Walleyes with them. Thinking of contacting Foxelli to see if they'd send me just a size 12 boot to try on so I could see if I could get my foot into it with an extra pair of socks. Concern is once I got my foot in it may be too big.
