Personally I love the studded type of wading boot. I go through a pair of the Danners a year. They have great traction, but when they dry they harden, shrink, and sometimes it can be tough to get them on, unless they are wet. The only issue with them is the material they are made out of is not durable enough. They break down on the insides of the feet and start collecting gravel, which takes extra time because you have to clean them out on occasion when fishing.. I am going to try the wading boots that Jim Teeny has out on the market, they are studded and made out of a neoprene material. They don't shrink and harden and they are extremly light to wear.
