Due to other reviews I have (shoe size 45) the waders ordered in size 44. The boots has a total very generous (not just shoe size, but also Wade diameter and foot height). With thick socks that I would always recommend at the cold water temperatures, the pants fit perfectly! It is comfortable to wear (even with thick jacket below) and leaves no wish unfulfilled.
The stablie sole gives a firm grip, even on stony riverbeds.
I have already recommended these pants several times and will continue to do so ...
