Not sure how many of you wear protective clothing like rain gear,..but I've been using cheap Hodgman utility waders. They come with a bootie foot but I cut that off and use duct tape to make a stronger ankle cuff. They go on easy and are lightweight and cheaper than than typical rain bibs. I buy them on Amazon for $12.99 and free shipping over $30.00.
I use them when cleaning roofs, decks and concrete mostly,..very beneficial when doing close quarters things like stairs.

@Dave- These aren't really good enough quality for fishing,...they are about like normal rain gear in weight.
@Art- I have a pair of the low cut Muck boots and I like them better than the tall boots,..and they don't sweat as bad and they dry faster.

Jeff I didn't go Muck this time around. The last Muck boots I had didn't last. They Cracked and that was the end of them.

Muck Smuck boots... What do you guys use while walking on roofs? I use Cougar Paw boots which are great for roofs.

If I need special the shoes to walk on the roof,..the roof is too steep to be walking,.. and I will spray from the top of the ladder.

I wear the white Tyvek coveralls from Home Depot. Under $4 and good for a few roofs. I cut the boots off of them and tape the bottoms. Toss them when they look dirty.
