Stocking foot waders… proper stocking fit??

Picked up a pair of Simms G3 waders and the stocking foot I went with is for shoe sizes 12-13. I typically wear a 12. Per Simms recommendation I went with a 13 wading boot, the Flyweight. Here’s my issue… once laced up the boot is a bit snug in the toe while wearing waders. With just a...

Feel like the 14 Orvis might be the ticket. But could likely be comfortable with the 13 if I could get by with a thin sock into waders. This would also be best set up for using boots with waterproof socks and no waders.

I use g3 waders abandon those same g3 boots in your picture, I sized up one size on the boots. The socks I wear just depends on how long I’m going to be in the waders. For an afternoon of fishing I just wear whatever hiking socks I grab. For a moose hunt I usually use kenetrek Alaskan socks. Those socks are thick, warm and while they sometimes seem too warm at first. They are great after you’ve been cold awhile.

Same as Thinhorn here. Simms G3 waders and boots, one size up on the boots. Wore Darn Tough heavy wool socks on my recent moose trip out of Bethel. Worked well for me.
