Same as above, had an old pair of Cabelas Cordura boot foot waders and those were great, held up to barbed wire and oyster shells better than anything other than the black commercial ones that seem like they weigh 80lbs. But Cabelas is not what it used to be, for your use closet rot may be the biggest issue and you should get a couple of years use with even the cheaper waders. You may have to re-seal the seams, but sometimes this is necessary on better waders too. My complaint with the cheaper ones is the neoprene foot is usually a poorly fitted over sized sock and can be uncomfortable. The better waders have sized and fitted feet that are far more comfortable.
