Ok I have my stocking foot waders and I have to wear shoes over them what fins do I buy to fit over my shoes? or do I take my shoes off? I have never done this before so please help.

What do you guys do?

go to a place that sells float tubes and they will have some that go over your wading boots. caddis makes a pair. they are about 30 bucks i believe. you might try sports mart or big 5 also a tackle shop.

Scuba Fins. They are bigger and give way more mobility. Easily adjusted over wader boots.

I wouldn't put shoes on at all. Go to a dive shop and get some booties that are used for scuba. Then pick up some good scuba fins and your set. I have been tubing since the early eightys, until I got a boat, and I can tell you first hand that the caddis style fins that attach to boots or shoes are worthless. For speed and comfort go with QUALITY scuba fins.

I use a simms flats boot. Its a neoprene boot with a thin rubber bottom. They fit over my waders, or with a neoprene sock I can just wear shorts in the summer time. I use force fins, because they are comfortable and can be used with or without a boot. But they are expensive.

Most of the BNT guys use this set up. I have been doing this a long time and this is the most comfortable most powerful set up you will find.
