    They dont have em.  I've looked.  The closest you'll find on FishUSA are the Toggs (Hellbender?) breathable stockingfoot guide pants.  They seem nice though, and I may eventually get a pair.

    You can just roll breatheable chest waders down to make them waist highs.  The clasps that clip at your shest, are made opposite, so that you can clip them together into a belt to accomplish this.

    Order the Simms convertible and the minus 20 muck boots. They also offer carbide studs you can put in yourself. I just got a pair of G 3's withe the muck boot, rubber soles.. It is $100.00 extra for the muck boots. I still own my 1st Simms goretex waders from 10 years ago, still no leaks. Fished them hard too. If you go this way, make sure to find a Simms dealer who has all the different sizes of the mucks to try on, as well as the wader. Takes about 3 weeks from the factory.

    The waders I describe for you are integrated. The factory melts the muck boots to the waders.

    the muck boots aren't shown on the simm's web site. the dealer claims he can't get them any more as simms had a high failure rate w/ them and no longer offers this set up.

    You are talking to the wrong dealer! I just got mine 2 weeks ago! Call Colton bay Fly Shop in Ann Arbor Michigan. 734 222 9776. They will tell you they ARe available and other dealers who can get them for you! I guarantee Simms still offers them. The " failure " you speak about was on their Extreme bootfoots last year. They all failed,. They state the problem is now fixed. They are available again this year, but made in China. My buddy has a pair and loves them. last I looked their web page did mention the muck boot program. I have their new catalogue and they are in there as well. You need any further direction, Pm me.
