I go to Sports Chalet and get the Body Glove. Just got my second pair as back up so I can go two days in a row and have dry booties when I put them on. $69 per pair and make sure you get one size larger than you wear. HH GFP

if youre hunting in warm weather - 3mm is good
if you plan on hitting when water is colder - get 5mm and up
I hunt cold New England waters = and use 7mm
but I have thinner ones for when I hunt Fla. and carribean

You need a heavy soled water shoe for fresh water lakes. Lots of things to hurt you, bottlecaps, fishing lures, rusted cans and broken glass. I go through a few pair each summer, so in off season, I look for nearly new pairs in thrift shops.
