CADDISMen's Green Neoprene Stocking Foot Wader

Had for over 3 years and is still great for cold water fishing, the foot runs a bit big, but with amazon wardrobe its pretty easy to exchange this if it doesnt fit.

Fits great on stout men.

I just returned from opening day of trout season at Bennett Spring here in Missouri. I purchased a pair of breathable waders last month but they were backordered, so it was either use my leakers from last year or get a pair of any kind of waders for the least cost. I read the reviews about the feet of these Caddis being way too big, but decided to take a chance as this was my best choice financially. First the size. I am 5-11 with a 32" inseam, 46" chest, size 11-1/2 shoe, and I weigh 220. Large Stout only had 44" chest, so I went with the XL Stout even though the inseam was 34". Are the stocking feet too large, yes. Is that an issue if you put them on correctly, no! Just pull them all the way on until your toes are at the end. The heel is not well defined so with wading boots on, the fit is just fine. My son's new waders and boots came in and he wears a size 13 shoe. My old wading boots were size 12 and his old ones were size 14. With heavy socks and the stocking foot waders, his 14s were easier to put on so I used them instead of my 12s. The neoprene feet on these Caddis are thicker that the neoprene feet on my old breathables from the big "O". So I would suggest to get one size larger boot than what you may be using on breathables. Oh by the way, these EXACT same Caddis Neoprene Stocking Foot Waders are on sale at the Bennett Spring park store, so that has to say something about these Caddis waders. The Velcro suspenders aren't my favorite but work adequately. These waders are comfortable, appear well made with quality materials, and will keep you dry.

I guess I'm old school. I still like neoprene waders for flyfishing. I am 6', 180lbs with a 32" inseam and a size 12 shoe. I ordered the size Large and they are just about a perfect fit. I wear a size 13 wading boot.They call these chest waders but they rise up almost to my neck! Probably not a good summertime wader so I will save them for the cooler weather or if I'm wading deep, cold rivers.I purchased a second pair and cut the top half off making myself a pair of wading "pants". I made a folded seam using neoprene glue. These are my go-to waders in the Summer and I use a wader belt or suspenders to hold them up.

I did not get a chance to use because it was a snug fit. Im 220 5'8 and got the reccomended size. It fit but im more of the loose fit so i ordered the other type.

Get for what you pay. Below the waist is fine until you get close to the chest area where they try to seal the attached pocket. Be ready to get a little wet from there.

Bought these for my husband. He works building docks and boathouses and often has to get on the water during colder temps. The first day they tore. Before he even got to work in them.

These seem to be of good quality and include gravel guards, but do not include the mesh carry bag you get with the Caddis "breathable" line.Caddis sizing is impossible to decipher, so I talked to Caddis. Do I order by inseam length or foot/shoe size? [Shoe size.] Since there's a 2-size difference between dress shoes and running shoes, do I order by my street (leather) shoe size or my running shoe size? [In our experience there's no difference.]Everyone I know wears a larger running shoe than leather/street shoe. I don't see anything peculiar about my feet - I don't have Ronald McDonald feet or tiny Geisha lotus feet. They look about average.Caddis waders are made offshore. Not sure where, exactly, but Caddis said they are made in Asia. Since the patterns and lasts used in Asia are all askew - a Asian-made size 10 running shoe is closer to a size 7.5 western shoe - I ordered by my larger running shoe size and the stockingfoot booties are - at least - 6 (six!) sizes larger than that. Wearing two pair of heavy socks, I can fold-over almost three inches of the length and two inches of the width and still have plenty of wiggle room for my toes...These are not thin/light booties. You can't wear them wrinkled-up or folded-over and have any hope of feeling comfortable.If they don't know their sizes (and I was talking with both the President and the Chief Marketing Officer of Caddis) I would much rather see a manufacturer tell me the measurements of the product. Tell me the bootie is X-inches long and I can figure out which size I need. I don't need mis-information.I couldn't use them and sent them back. I'd rate the apparent quality of material and construction at 4 stars. I'd rate the sizing charts at Caddis.com minus 5 stars.If Caddis ever gets their sizing together, they'd be a solid 5 star product, but for this review, I'll give them a 2.

Arrived on time, no leaks, fits great and has been keeping me warm in cold Temps. The gravel guards are a bit loose, but I have another set anyways that fits. Great buy, let's see how long they last.

Acceptable quality. We’re a little short in the leg even for longer fit and tight even for a slimmish man. Hand warmer pockets very tight and top connections needed reinforcement.

Good waders for the price. Only thing about the ones I got, they are hugging. I am not over weight.

In a hunt for some stocking foot neoprene waders, I wanted to get a pair to replace my Snowbee ones which lasted me some 4 plus years. This time around I wanted to get some with shoulder straps that are all neoprene from front to back without thin straps, unlike the Snowbee ones that constantly slipped off. After some searching I found these waders by Caddis which was the cheapest pair out there.These arrived within the specified time and was in the original manufactured box. The size I got according to the chart was XL stout. To note I'm 5.11ft muscular build of 180lb. My feet size is 10.5 so these are said to cover my size up to size 13 which is quite a drastic jump. I put the waders on and found them to fit perfectly, especially the inseam giving me about 2" crouch room. I could bend in them without any issues.The stocking foot was as expected, rather large, so large in fact that I wondered how I'm going to fit them into my boots. Now for my last pair of boots which I still have, the Snowbee Rockhoppers, these are a size 12. I also had a size 11 pair but these were too tight with both waders. I did manage to get the stockings into the size 12 boot but anything smaller was impossible.The straps are a welcome design as they won't slip off the shoulders. The straps velcro to the waders from the inside but for some reason they put the hooked side velcro on the wader not on the strap so anything such as a jumper worn will get hooked also, which over time will damage your top.I do beach fishing so I went off to try them the next day. I found the stockings molded well into my boot, and although they felt lumpy around the ankles initially this wasn't the case once I had worn them a short time. As these are not thermal-lined I didn't sweat, yet they were warm enough which is welcome because pumping worms in my last pair were just too hot, even in winter. I do miss the front pocket, this is one thing that I felt was missing as you need somewhere to put your car keys, and a wader pocket keeps then dry and warm so as to not drain the car key fob battery in wintertime.So far from my initial impression these waders are well made, they fit well and are easy to get on and off. No leaks as you would expect, and they dry very fast. I will come back with a further review after 1 year from this review to give my findings. In the meantime, these are a great value, and if they were to add a pocket, give more foot size options, and reverse the velcro sides they would be perfect.

Waders have good thickness for cold water warmth and fit true to size.I am 6 feet and weigh185 and bought a large stout which fits quite well but are a little large in the feet but I can bear that problem.This is my second pair so I hope they do not leak on the lower seams as leaks can be tough to find!You must wear gravel guards to prevent feet from wearing.I use them a lot on Lake Superior rivers and the price is very reasonable.
