      I have a set of snowbee granite studded, and I'm well happy with them !
      Well made, & comfy. Have never leaked unlike some very expensive Hardy EWS, which have weeped intermitently since new !
      Couple of things to consider: Do you need them for All year use ?
      Neoprenes in summer... you melt, walking to venues in warm November days we had.... I melted...?
      Try them on, before you buy. I got mine off the Net for £79.00p.
      Makesure you can get on a good pair of socks/ liners, as the boot is the coldest bit.
      I always wear a pair of Ronhill Tracksters with them, (Like a light tracky bottom.), which is enough to keep me well warm,( -5@ Runswick last year ?).
      They also, because they have a strap at the bottom , don't ride up when you put on the waders, and make taking off the waders simple, ( Just ask any one who has worn Neoprene waders, with nothing on underneath,especially if you have got a bit hot, just how easy they aren't to get off,

      Peeling grapes springs to mind

      Hope that helps ?

          be very careful with felt, they wear quick,( Sea rocks will kill them!), they are also lethal if you have walk on wet grass
