Orvis Men's Clearwater Wading Boot
This boot can be used for wading year-round. If it's in the summer wet wading, or in the dead of winter when your using your waders. The rubber sole is great because there are restrictions in some places where you can not use felt. Alaska and Yellowstone National park just to name a few.

Providing good support in the river. Rubber bottom, rather than felt, so that you will be legal to go in every state and national park.

Orvis PRO BOA Wading Boot

Simply twist the nob to tighten and pull the knob out to release the tongue of the boot, ensuring quick and easy transitions.

These are a very technical wading boot that are worth the money. They are super durable and have a good reputation of lasting many days on the river - even when you are tough on your items. The ankle is supportive but less bulky than traditional wading boots. These are SIMMS quality through and through!

Great for the streams and rivers of Montana and throughout the Rockies. This is a tough boot that will hold up through multiple seasons.

Strong boot will keep your feet secure when in the water. Great for standing in the river.

Great all around boot for anything you may run into. Good for longer hikes in, great traction on slippery surfaces.

Well constructed. Extra ankle support and traction in the river. They can be very tricky to walk in.

Great for hiking into spots and a nice lightweight option.
