Teal waders

Teal waders - 08/07/17 09:49 PM

I was at the local academy getting a few things and as I walked by the wader aisle it hit me...why not get those breathable fishing waders (less than a $100) that you also need a wader shoe/boot for. So I gets to thinking...why not those waders and a pair of crocs? Anyone used their crocs with those types of waders? Hell I hate to get another pair shoe or boots if crocs will work.

Our should I just get the $200+ breathable waders at the duck store?

I think Crocs would get stuck in the mud and come off your foot.

I almost never wear waders for early teal. Just fishin' shorts and some wading shoes, water is warm. If you need to wear some, you can get hip waders pretty cheap.

Get a cheap pair of lace up sneakers, light...

I hunted with a pair of breathable's and used some all black Converse Chuck Taylors that I ordered online. Real cheap

I hunt in shorts and mud boots. That's all you need besides bug spray.

Cabelas breathables. They will swap them out if they leak. Stand behind products

I prefer the black zip-up bay fishing shoes with mine.

I don't think Crocs would stay on in the mud I hunt in. Maybe if you were hunting somewhere with some heavy vegetation.

I'm a wuss and still like to wear waders when I'm wallowing in early teal muck. Hard to beat some breathable fly fishing waders. In fact, I wear them all season. So comfortable and so much easier to walk in.

Dog was bit by moccasin few yrs back. Wouldn't recommend sneakers or shorts- chiggers will destroy you as well

I agree on the shorts, I do not like getting in the water without waders. I believe BDB is talking about stocking foot waders, in which case I think lace up cheap sneakers, lite ones, would work fine. Crocs is not a good idea.

Academy has some cheap Vinyl waders for <$10 (YES TEN). Get those and some old tennis shoes you have laying around and You will be Good to Go. Waders in Sept. Help keep the Skeeters/Chiggers off of you!
