For years, it was hip boots but then I got tired of wading "just a little further" and filling them up all the time.

So I broke down and bought neoprenes. I started with stalking foot but they leaked horribly in the foot in less than a year (I hike alot). Then I tried neoprene boot foot waders and had a little better luck. They are going on 3 years but damn near every seam leaks badly....especially down the inseam and the crotch. Am I expecting too much out of neoprenes? I always wash and hang them out of sunlight. I don't abuse them when hiking. It just appears that the seams don't hold up well with even moderate use. I should probably mention I have used middle-of-the-road hodgman neoprenes.

Which brings me to breathable waders. I am looking for something that has bullet proof seams and comes in bootfoot. Money is not an issue as I will pay if the durability and quality are there.

Do you fellas have any suggestions? I'm kind of burning out on neoprene leaks and want something more dependable.

Thanks.
