Wading boots are a lot more than shoes that fit over waders. The right pair of boots will help you stay safe and keep you comfortable, ensuring more time on the water.
But choosing a wading boot is about more than does it fit. It also goes beyond the kind of sole on the bottom and how much it costs. Companies that make footwear to use in the water have specific purposes behind their designs. Based upon the kind of fly fishing you do, where you do it, and how long you spend doing it, there are some principles you can use when you’re picking a boot.
In this short video, I walk through three styles of wading footwear. I use all three for various fly fishing situations, and there is a good chance that your angling checks some of the same boxes.

Korkers Darkhorse Boots – These are great wading boots. They offer support and comfort. Although I have worn them a number of times, they’re a newer pair and I haven’t written a formal review yet.
