The waders make you part of a closed container - when it compresses, you get comressed in it.
Apparently you must be more sensitive to this effect or the waders are somehow enhancing it??

Fair enough. I'm not a physics expert, so you may be right, but with the waders on underwater this compressed feeling is literally tenfold of the feeling I get without waders. I am not the only one who feels it either since my wife also said it was extremely uncomfortable and her ankles started to hurt. It's not merely a sensivity thing. Waders should not feel uncomfortable to wear underwater and they shouldn't make your feet go numb, or tingle, or cause pain after 15 minutes of wearing. I'm going to contact the manufacturer and ask them why this is happening. Somehow they are just not allowing the pressure underwater to equalize like apparently other waders like the Simms do.
