socks

Wow! Lots of good suggestions. The only thing that I can add is that I just tried some wader gravel guards from academy that work well for me. When I wear waders, my socks usually side down and my pants side up. The gravel guards are 4" wide neoprene strap with a velcro fastener strip (~$5). If you put them over your pants at the ankles before you put on your waders, the problem is solved. Just don't make it too tight. It worked real good on my last wading trip when I covered about 1/2 mile.
