Like M_M, I use OTB's when wet footing. If I'm trying to stay dry in cooler weather I use an old pair of Northern rubber boots. When I need to replace them I'll try the MUCK boots. I got Martha some. I think Solus tipped me off to them. They have a nice sole with a steel shank in the arch, which is nice when you're carrying a load.

If it's warm you'll find the rubber boots hot. I've been known to kick them off while in the boat. Footwear is an old debate. If you're new here M_M is worth paying attention to IMO. He may endure an icy foot better than others. Plus go lighter n farther too.
