My husband is a boat hunter. He needs warm and durable. Are they intended to wear with an outer boot?

yes. these have just a "bootie" foot - the wearer will need a boot to wear these.
3829
Yes IMHO. But, the outer boot has to be big enough to accommodate the thickness of the wader foot. And a protective sock, which should be worn to protect the wader foot from tearing. These waders are worn with a waterproof wader shoe when fishing & walking in water.

Yes, you need another boots to protect those waders. They are very fragile and not durable at all.

I would say no. The feet on these are for walking in the water but you should put on water shoes with the feet so you don't cut them on anything. Lobster men would have reinforced boots on them.

They have a gusset, so they are waterproof to the top. Nice boots, size seems to run a bit small if you use the liners which are great in winter.

nope, they are like a wetsuit. they were very effective at keeping my feet warm when I was rafting the grand canyon... 40 degree water on the feet is very uncomfortable, but with these on its not bad at all

I would not try it.... boots and shoes for water/snow protection only. Proper use requires heating boots or shoes first.

Darnell, are you looking for the correct air force/army use with the wool booties? Personnaly I don't use the military way. I order Sorel liners in place of the GI the wool booties over combat boots. I wear mens size 10 and use size medium N1B. My lady friend wears female size 9 and uses a small N1B. Hope this helps.

I actually wear stocking foot fishing waders under these boots. The waders' neoprene foot material is probably about 3mm thick. I ordered the boots one size larger than my shoe size and there is plenty of room. Unless the sock you're thinking of is VERY thin, I would assume that they would not be comfortable unless you ordered the boots a size larger.

Hello I wear 11.5 I ordered a size 12 they seem to fit well. They are not insulated I use mind to put the dock in and out. So in the spring I wear long pant I don't have any problems. These are very nice waders for the price.

No. They are designed to keep water out below top level of boots. The strap at the top will tighten to keep boots snug, not water tight.

They have gussets and nice flare at the bottom - so if your paddock boots are not taller than average, yes. If they are open top muck boots, maybe not (or at least not comfortably). Lacers or zip paddocks, certainly. I have worn them over my fat insulated lacer hiking/work type boots.

They would be great for snow protection. I'd say more water resistant than water proof. ...the bottom is leather which will eventually get wet. But with dry, packed snow and not to be used all day they would be fine.

they are not insulated or waterproof...they have a little plastic pad on the bottom that might give some protection from cold but it does not always stay at the bottom of the boot...my dog loves these for walking inside on cold hardwood or tiled floor in the winter, but I don't have him wear them outside.

These are neoprene "booties" and I wouldn't wear them beyond when I'm wading through water. In that case the wool wouldn't help at all. In Iceland my mode of operation was to hike to the side of the river, change hiking boots to sandals and Hydroskin, walk carefully through the icewater and then change back.

My boots run a little long and wide which works well for me. I can wear my waders and an extra thick pair of socks and have plenty of room.

It's a start. If he has an insulated pair of blue jeans over them he should be fine. May want to look at the expedition weight they are warmer.

If he is a normal size man, 9 1/2 should be fine. If he's a larger man, go with a 10. These are not insulated waders but wearing extra clothing should work in colder waters.

These socks are mainly to be worn like slippers. They would be very tight inside a boot, unless the boot is a larger, looser fit. But these socks are THE BEST!!! My feet are always cold and these socks are the warmest "slipper" I have ever owned!!
