What do you guys wear fishing when it is raining. I have a good rain suit to keep me dry, but I am wondering about something for my feet. I would rather not wear a pair of my hunting boots fishing to keep my feet dry in the rain.
What do you guys where to keep those feet dry? I hate wet feet, but I am not stopping fishing for anything short of lightening.
ETA..I forgot the important part........I wear a 14.

Older pair of Gortex duty boots,3/4 high. Warm, dry and a gel insole makes them comfortable all day.
I was looking in the garage the other day and trying to move through all my wife's stuff and you'll never guess what I found ? My boat.

Cheap pair of rubber boots works for me. If it's warm enough I prefer to just were sandals instead.
Is it spring yet??

If you can't find rubber boots in size 14, and you don't want to order online, you can always just wrap your feet 4 inches thick of duct tape. That's what I do when I am feeling barbaric/primitive. 
I'm the best fisherman (of the worst fishermen)...

Hmmm, WHERE are the shoes I WEAR when it's raining?
I wear an older pair of sneakers or flip flops when I go fishing and don't care if they get wet. I don't care about my feet getting wet, either, unless it's COLD. Here in S.Florida, most peeps don't go outside when it's COLD and raining.

Doug, If you were in Washington that would leave you about 30 days a year to fish.

HL Nicols, I think you have been hit upside the head too many times playing Lacrosse!!!!
I wear Duck Shoes or in the warmer months, I coutinue to wear my Bill Dance shoes which are very comfortable and dry fast.
I will also be shopping for some waist high waders which will keep me dry from the waist down.

There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. ~Washington Irving

Oh Lord! You've got it bad in Washington. Cold and wet toes can spoil any fishing trip. Haha, I thought my toes/feet would be warm in two pair of socks when it got down to the 40's, but my dumb ars didn't think abpot the cold cutting through my mesh sneakers.
