01Can i wear these with stocking foot waders?+
Absolutely. I wear them with a kayaking drysuit that also includes the foot just as waders do. Regarding the size to accommodate all inside, I have 10.5 feet, use 10.5 and 11 shoes and these boots I use size 11. They fit everything since the material is quite elastic. However, with the kayak drysuit, they feel a little bit tight. I can deal with, it is not uncomfortable nor painful but waders have even thicker footwear and if needed you can always use thicker socks, so I would recommend you to go +1 on the size. I use these boot in rivers from glaciers in Patagonia, and keep my feet warm anyway. Very nice boots. Just sometimes, if the current is too strong, the velcro may tend to get loose.
02Size chart shows women's 11=men's 12. would think it would be opposite, e.g women's 11=men's 10. how can i ensure receiving men's 12?+
