They are not the chepest boots and i forget the exact name. But the ones Orvis has with zippers in them are amzing and worth every cent. As someone with over 2 dozen foot surgeries i cant afford to roll an ankle. Ive had them for about a year now, and been out in them a few dozen times. The soles and metal studs are still holding in greatly and i rarely loose grip in water or on land. They have a very rigid side to them, so even when i do slip. They keep me from twisting to badly. Only down side is when i pack into a river, they are a tad heavy.

If you're looking for boots on the cheap, and I do mean cheap, I started with a pair of bargain basement (~$30) pair of rubber soled wading boots from one of the big stores for everyday wading at 4MR/Gravelly/Roaches/etc. Later on when I need more grip, I purchased a set of korkers rocktrax for around $60 which are great. I really like the ability to strap the korkers to my pack for hiking in and out -- though ankle support is somewhat lacking with this setup. One day I'll upgrade but for now, if it ain't broke...I wouldn't recommend the wellies as mud, deposits, or even swirling currents could potentially pull those off. I'm sure others will chime in with their thoughts and favorites.--
