Sorry about that Josh, I tried to get "fancy" with my links and messed it up.
The boots are listed on the same site that you linked to the Hodgman. Here is the link:

Cabelas carries the Simms Freestone boots here:

They also have a studded version for an extra $20.
Cabelas has several models with the Dry-Plus technology. I bought the Guide Techs, but I don't like the little pouch thingy on the front (for cosmetic reasons):

From a wader performance perspective, however, they are absolutely awesome. The fabric is 5-layers of breathable material that makes them bulletproof, and they feel substantial. I wear regular old sweatpants underneath for insulation and I am never cold.
Here are the ones that I linked originally, the Gold Medal Dry-Plus (Cabelas did not carry these when I originally purchased mine 3 years ago):

When you purchase your boots, MAKE SURE you get them plenty big (1-2 sizes over your regular shoe size). If your boots are too small, your feet and toes will be cramped, which slows down the circulation to your feet, and they will get COLD! It really has little to do with insulation, so adding more socks doesn't help if your boots are too small.
Hope that helps!
