I bought a pair of breathable waders last year and have not been disappointed. Before that I always got neoprene but will never go back after the breathable. Even in November for the chums I wear the breathable and just put an extra layer below them. I got the cheapest Orvis that I could buy (I typically never get Orvis stuff but Cabela's was sold out and on a two month back order. That should be another posting as I usually like Cabela's gear but I have had bad luck with both neoprene waders leaking and out of stock breathables even though they continue to send mailing after mailing advertising specials on their breathable). I don't know if Orvis make's a bootfoot version but regardless I would advise some version of the breathable membrane wader. -Old Chum
