Shoes
Stocking feet waders must be worn with shoes of some kind as the feet are made light and thin. Regular wading shoes are made for the purpose. They are of canvas, or canvas and leather, equipped with heavy soles studded with blunt nails or hobs to prevent slipping. The best nails are of soft iron as they " grip " better than those of steel. A pair of heavy socks should be worn under the shoes to prevent wear on the feet of the waders. It is also advisable to wear a pair of overalls or light khaki trousers over the waders to prevent chafing and tearing while going through the brush.
For boat or canoe wear I recommend light unwater-proofed moccasins with or without soles; tennis slippers are also good.
