Go with the full, guide waders. Get the Good boots.

Probably could sell easily after the hunt.

Calvin, what boots do you wear? I've worn out my cheapos and am ready to buy good wading boots. I also hike a lot with them on and looking for something that'll hold up.

To the OP: I do prefer stocking foot waders with separate boots.
Even the cheap boots have worked better than the looser fitting bootfit waders. You can send up doing a lot of beach walking on bear hunts and you want good sturdy boots and ankle support for these rocky bands beaches -- especially with a heavy furry load on your back!
