If you just want to embrace the wetness, but still have warm feet, I've used neoprene dive / wetsuit socks (from scuba.com) inside my normal caving boots.
If I plan on walking in water all day- anke deep or deeper- I've gone with some dive boots. You can find some with really rugged soles. Like so-

Mostly what we have is water up to the ankle and sometimes water up to the knees.
What is the best way to keep dry? I found some cheap thin vinyl waders that are very light weight and can quickly be slipped over everything - boot and all. They problem with that route is that they are not durable, and they cover up the traction of the boots.
There are of course the kinds of waders that you use without your boots. I found some that are light, kind of bulky but doable, however that requires you to take off your boots when you get to that really wet spot and thats just a pain.
So am I missing something? Does everyone just wear thigh high boots? Do you just deal with the water in your boots? (I find it annoying and difficult to hike any long distances after my boots have been completely filled with water.
