Wading boots

Post by JoshW » Sat Nov 01, 2014 5:01 pm

Hey guys,

I've just gotten a new pair of waders and they are the ones with te neoprene sock, so I'm going to need a wading boot for them. I'm just wondering what people here use? I'm assuming any hiking boot/shoe that drains will be suitable, is this correct? I'm looking more towards a boot as I plan to do a bit of walking in them.

Cheers

Hiking boots should work okay as one of my mates uses them with his waders. I have a pair of Korkers wading boots that have interchangeable soles,
and have found them to be perfect for my river fishing. They come with a rubber grip sole and a pair of felt soles.
cheers

I have felt soled riverworks boots and the way they grip mossy algae covered logs and rocks is absolutely mindblowing

Those look real good mate. They look like they are waterproof or do they drain the water out?
