$16 Hodgman Waders at Wal-Mart, Windsor

Breathable w/socks, size M/L.

I just picked up two pair. Gonna give one to Ben and keep the other pair for loaners or to use if I ever go digging for clams. Have no idea if they fit. If they're too small I'll give 'em away at that price.

I have a good one already but gonna have to get this one for backup

This one?

Yup. From the reviews it looks like you'll either get a pair that leak the first time out, or you'll get a pair that will last you a season. 

Any reason why these can't use than an alternative to kokatat pants?

These are $15 shipped at Amazon.  They seem to work well for me at least.

What shoes/boots would you wear with these for surf fishing?

Then maybe I'll pass
