How I chose my
womens wading shoe.

Shoe Shopping!

orvis sale

My favorite past-time: Shoe Shopping! The same holds true for buying a womens wading shoe. No matter what kind of mood you’re in, buying a new pair of shoes can really lift your spirits!

First thing to look for in wading boots? Lightness! You do not want a big heavy boot that only gets heavier when it’s wet weighing you down.

You actually do quite a bit of walking in your wading shoes so make sure they fit you well with your waders on and that they’re durable because you’ll be scaling rocks and river-banks in them.

You can pick up these great wading boots for around $100. Don’t be afraid to try on the men’s sizes to find the right fit. Since you’ll probably be wearing these with waders – your foot just got wider!
