Re:Waders/Wading shoes for backpacking 17 Years, 11 Months ago  
I would go with the lightest waste high waders you can find. I have an old pair of Orvis sliver label from Ebay that are very light. For boots, I use Keen's water something-or-other sandals. They work great because they cover the toe with hard rubber so you don't crush your toes on rocks at the bottom. The Keens can also be used as your around the campsite footware. They dry fast. This way you only need your hiking boots and the Keens.

I've used this set up a lot. In fact I'm doing the John Muir trail this year. 235 miles w/ a fishing detour or two. More the 20 great fishing creeks and streams! I'm not taking waders, only the Keens. There, you only need to wade across. You don't need to stand in the rivers too long.

Where are you going?
