I'm looking into getting some Cabelas brand waders and have heard horror stories on the boot sizes.

I don't like to have the boot tight as I think the rubber against my foot makes me damn cold lol. I like to be able to wear thick socks and have a lil air buffer between my foot and the boot but not so much that it pulls off too easily without my wanting it to.

So, with all that said...what size boots did yall get in the cabelas brand and how do they fit for ya? How do the sizes compare to other brands...?

I have read conflicting reports but i just purchased a set of

Cabelas LightMag 800
http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=734258

And they seem to run true. I wear a 9 and i bought a 9 and fit great with thick socks.

I have some cabelas dry plus, I wear a 10 1/2, got a 10 and they fit great with thick socks, have had 2 pairs over past 6 years, i ripped the last pair on my trailer, darn it.

I wear a 10-10 1/2 normally and a 10 in the cabelas waders, they are perfect for thick socks...almost chronic like

I found mine to be pretty accurate. I did try them on first though.

I wear an 11 or 11 1/2 in shoes and wear a size 10 Cabelas waders. They are still plenty big.

I wear size #13 waders and the last 2 sets have been Cabelas Dry Plus, they are great, never had a leak etc.
Im a big guy and they fit well.

This year I switched to the new ones with the lace up boots, they are bad to the bone.

nothing beats trying them on but I think I got size 11 in their breathable waders when I wear a size 11 to 11.5 shoe or cowboy boot.

My only complaint is they are short in the inseam.

I'd love to try them on at the store, however that's not an option right now. I wish they'd build a store here lol. So on that note, I'm gonna have to wing it with the mail order.

I had some Hodgeman waders that were 10 and fit just a lil snig but they died. Right now I have some hodgman that are 9s and they are a quite snug. I had some thicker socks on this past weekend and I could barely wiggle my toes.

I usually wear 11.5 to 12s in shoes. All my waterproof rubbers boots that aren't attached to waders are 11s. They are also all various brands. Dunno if I should go 11s or 10s.

I would go 12's

I wear a 9 1/2 in my shoes but a 9 in my waders. they fit wonders with every kind of sock i put on as well. also cabelas has a really nice return policy so either way you should be happy!

Same here.

My New Blance shoes are size 11.5, but I got the Super-mag 1600 waders in size 10 boot. They fit perfect with a thick sock.

I would go with an 11

They seem to run just a hair big, a thick pair of sock and they fit great. Its normally cold when I wear then so it works out. If you are a walk in hunter or walk in the mud when you hunt get a pair of muck straps. They work wonders.

Muck Straps

Recently bought the 1600 gram neos in size 10 and wear 10 1/2 boot. Plenty of room for thick socks too. Too hot for this weather though!

I wear 11-11.5 shoe and every pair of waders I've had I got a 10. My last 3 pair(including the ones I have now) have all been Cabela's brand.

I have the Cabela's ultimate waders size 12. I think the run true to size. Great product but the 5mm can be pretty warm in the early season.

I've got a pair of Cabela's waders. I wear a 9 1/2 to 10 shoe, and I got a size 10. Shoulda got a 9...those boots pull off whenever I'm walking on anything but concrete. But, Cabelas makes great waders...this is my 4th season and no leaks.

Order the size of boot you wear now. They always fit great.
Cabelas boots on their wadders seem tobe the most comfortable by far.

I wear 10.5 to 11 in shoes and got a 10 wader boot size. The consensus seems to be the boots run big so you can get a half size or full size smaller and be ok.

I would go with the 11. I wear 12 shoes and bought a 12 and there is too much room. Still very comfortable but it makes it tough when walking in thick mud. i wouldve fit in an 11 easy and still had plenty of room i'd think.

I wear a size 9 1/2 boot. I bought a size 10 Cabela's dry plus waders and with a pair of wool socks and a pair of poisture wicking socks they fit great.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered an 11 so we will see how it goes.
