Ok folks here is the deal, I need a new pair of wading boots. The considerations I am applying to this endeavor are as follows:
Lightweight
Must excel at ankle support (these will be used on large rivers)
No studs or felt (only want a rubber bottom, I use a korkers over boot for my studs)
Must be lace up (hate the BOA system style, call me old fashioned)
MUST NOT BE SIMMS! I hate Simms and virtually every product I have ever owned from them has fallen apart in one season.
So far in my researching wading boots I have come up with these options as viable but have never used any of these. Any experience? Any suggestions?
Korkers:
Buckskin w/kling on sole
Greenback w/kling on sole
Redside 2 w/kling on sole
Orvis:
Andros Flats Hiker Fishing Boots
I consider these because they look like they have a ton of ankle support and look to be great wet wading boots. I dont use waders so I feel as though these might be a good option.
Encounter w/rubber sole
Clearwater w/rubber
