Felt, Rubber or Cleated Soles
Felt soles grip slippery, weed-covered rock, and rubber soles are better for walking banks and muddy paths. Cleated or studded soles add metal points for extra grip on rock and in fast water.
Lacing and Ankle Support
Speed laces and dial closures do the boot up quickly with cold hands. A stiff, padded ankle supports the foot on uneven riverbeds and loose stones.
Matching Waders
Wading boots are made for stockingfoot waders, which have a neoprene sock in place of a fixed boot. Bootfoot waders already have a boot, so they do not need one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do wading boots come up a size?
Many do, because the boot has to fit over the neoprene sock of the wader. Each product page lists the sizes available.
Are felt soles better than rubber?
Felt grips best on slimy rock and weed, while rubber copes better with walking and mud and dries quicker. Studs can be fitted to many rubber soles for extra grip.
Can wading boots be worn with bootfoot waders?
No. Bootfoot waders already have a boot fixed on, so wading boots are only worn with stockingfoot waders.
How should wading boots be dried?
Rinse off grit and mud, then dry them at room temperature away from direct heat. Strong heat can crack the glue and the upper.
