waders sizing and purchase question

[smashdn]

Generally, no half sizes. Order the next bigger size if you are a half. Different brands run slightly different. Some truer to size than others. No different than tennis shoes in that regard. Nikes typically run a half size to a full size smaller than others.

I'd recommend breathables over neoprene. Easier to walk in, more comfortable to wear, and more versatile all around.

I wear size 10 and bought a size 9. Feel fine and I feel like I have much more control when wading.
