Historically I wear hip waders but, because of my more recent size, (510 245lbs size 10 shoe) I have trouble getting the boots to fit over my calf while wearing long pants. These chest waders solved my problem. I ordered for my shoe size, I added the insoles from an old pair of sneakers for a bit of support and thick socks for warmth and the fit is perfect for my feet. Also, there is enough room for my chest, calf, thigh, belly and butt. Sitting is no problem. No leaking on the maiden voyage, but time will tell. For the price, at my age, if I get a season or two out of them Ill be happy.
Perfect for my size
