Waders refer to a type of waterproof footwear designed for walking or wading in wet environments such as marshes, swamps, rivers and coastal areas. The shoes are made with materials that keep feet dry and comfortable while providing traction on uneven surfaces. Waders come in various styles including chest-high, hip-high, and knee-high models to accommodate different water levels and user preferences. They are commonly used by hunters, fishermen, birdwatchers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need protection from the elements while enjoying their activities.
