should I be concerned about the body size of Hodgeman Mackenzie Nylon/PVC Chest Wader with Cleated Soles

They are pretty wide on the inside. Def ok for the heavier men like myself.

Body size was great for my average frame. I was glad I went one size smaller than my shoe size. I will be able to wear the waders with just heavy socks. Bud C.

Hi John, I wear a size 11 but I bought size 12 because sometimes I wear heavy wool socks when the water is cold. With my neoprene stocking foot waders, they fit just right. I like a little bit of room rather than a tight fit.

Might be a little big. Try a boat store and see what they have in that style. Most are same size

I wet wader using a neoprene gaiter + use waders also. I bought I size larger. One of the most comfortable boots for hiking between runs! Buy normal size & return them if they don't fit well.

I'm also a 13.5 and because of the adjustable strap, they fit fine. I will say, however, that the strap requires constant retying due to the larger foot size. Also, I've moved to tradition fins because the Positive Drives tend to hurt my knees.

The guys in my office tried on the cleats with their boots which ranged in sizes 10 1/2 - 13 and each one was a perfect fit. So I'm gathering that a less bulkier shoe should be no problem. Hope this helps.

I just use my regular stocking foot waders as the bottom of the fins come up quite a ways to cover the bottom of your foot. The fins have worked very well on the last few trips that I have went on. The adjustment straps are very easy to tighten.

They tend to run a little large . I purchased my size an with a heavy wool sock fits well. They are a little long though ... I have short legs but still like the waders.

Yes you do. The waders come with neoprene stocking feet at the bottom of the legs.

I'd go by shoe size, maybe hedge by going a size or 2 over and wearing thick socks or boot liners. I'm 5'9", 34" waist, 30" inseam, 150lb, shoe size is technically 9-9 1/2, but I wear a 10 1/2 shoe, and ordered size 11. I would call the overall fit generous but skimpy vertically. Update: I actually had a need to use the waders today. I wore jeans and heavyish athletic socks under them. The shoe was very comfortable and supported me well while walking over an irregular lake bottom. The waders kept me dry, until I bent over in the water and let some water in the top of the chest. It would have been nice if they had assumed about 2" more inseam for my size, so I might have been able to hike them up a little higher. So if you're tall, or proportionately longer in the leg than the same height Chinese guy (these are made in China), you might want to add 2 or 3 shoe sizes, if that's the only knob you've got to turn.

I ordered mine a size larger then my normal shoe. I wear them with and without waders but I use a heavy pair of socks when not using waders. Good luck.

I bought the med size waders and fits me fine. I'm the same size as you with a size 10 foot. With the neoprene booties, you will be one size bigger in a boot.

I think that it does. I take a size 10 shoe and the foot in the waders is too big by a considerable margin. I have not worn the waders very much, but I continue to say that it is good quality considering the price. The big problem with any breathable wader is that it will leak eventually.

I ordered one size larger as my old boots were small on me and should have been purchased a size larger. I find my new boots fit well with neoprene wader feet and that a little room in the boot is a welcome change. My experience is that you will soon need to change the laces out to some that are harder/tougher.

Go to their web site. They have a sizing chart. It does not have specifics for the waist waders, but you can use the chest waders as a guide. I am 6 2 fourty waist, and 12 shoe. The large worked for me.

My son wears a 12 to 12 1/2 and he had plenty of room to spare. There is an insert in the Flippers that can be removed if there to small but I don't think they will be, hope this helps. Tom

The sole is solid rubber. Maybe 3/4" thick. Depends on how holes you would be digging. I think it would be fine.
