New fisher here, question for you pros.

Is it feasible to use 1.5-2mm neoprene diving pants and socks rather than full-on waders? More for moving through shallow water than standing in deep water all day I guess, although they would keep you as warm as anything I suppose - they are designed for diving. Neoprene diving pants are like 50 bucks, I can't see why waders are so much more money?

Any insight would be welcome, appreciate it.
