quality wading boot - Bowriver - 01-10-2011

What wading boot to buy? Want durable, comfortable quality boot that has good ankle support and will last. I do 75% wading and 25% float tube. I don't mind spending money on high priority item like this.

I wear Simms Ultra light with the Aquastealth sole (no felt for me).
I have had these for over 10 years, but when I do buy a new pair, I am definitely going with Korkers. Love the interchangeable soles.

Have you considered just adding a pair of ice cleats to your current boots?

Something like these:

Re: [flygoddess] quality wading boot - cpierce - 01-19-2011

Remember it is men's sizing.
For me that is usually about a 6 or so. Might want to go and try them on at the Lehi store - if they have them.

Re: [cpierce] quality wading boot - flygoddess - 01-19-2011

It depends, with my Orvis waders I would need that 8 (two sizes bigger or a health 1 and a half) Men's 6 is a little small and wide, but I wear an 8 to 8 1/2 womens.
