Received LL Bean Emerger bootfoot waders as a gift. (Yes, I still use bootfoots because of easy on and off...) Unfortunately the fit and quality are not what I would expect for waders costing almost $300.00. The molded rubber boots are misshapen. They do not match. Also the size 12 is more like an 11 even though the website says to order your exact shoe size. The seam between the boot and the upper is also rough.
I know I can return them etc. but I don't think the boots are anywhere near what I would expect from LL Bean. I mainly was interested in them because of the guarantee they offer. Also most of the online reviews were decent. These days spending a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean quality. I'm constantly returning junk to stores lately. Thankfully every place has very lenient return policies.
I've had boot foot Orvis in the past but they no longer carry that particular model.
Wondering if anyone has found a good bootfoot wader?
I've lately been using $50.00 Prolines which I replace every year but though I would upgrade.
