8 Fans Felt Sole Wading Boots, Felt Wader Fishing Boots, Non-Slip Felt Bottom Boots for Fly Fishing

Normally I’d say “don’t repeat my mistake,” but this time, I’m saying “repeat my mistake!” These are absolutely incredible quality, but not at all what I expected. I’m not going to say anything bad about a mistake on my end, but instead I’ll simply describe my ignorance and subsequent discovery. I misread the description and thought these would work with my Lacrosse chest waders which fit snugly over a pair of thick slippers. These are way too big to fit inside those waders, as they’re actually standalone boots. The felt sole was throwing me off. I had no idea that felt soled wading boots existed, hence thinking they were for inside existing waders. To be fair, I’m not a fisherman, aside from the occasional casual trip. But, I am a photographer, and often find myself walking into water in order to shoot towards the bank from a different perspective. I’ve always been leery of doing so on river rocks and whatnot due to slip concerns, but these have so much much grip it’s crazy. I tested them out in a local stream, and despite the frigid winter temperatures, they stayed comfortably warm, and drained quickly. These will be great to keep in the truck for situations where I might want to jump in the water and didn’t have the foresight to bring my waders, particularly for wildlife and waterfall shots. Thanks to theses, I’m a newly reformed believer.
