Anglers' boots (6)

I believe the answer is:

waders

(Other definitions for waders that I've seen before include "waterbirds?" , "Waterproof hip boots for anglers" , "Birds - boots" , "something worn by fishermen" , "Water birds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
