The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

The Orvis Mens Ultralight wading boot is an absolute top of the wading boot. One of the lightest and most durable wading boots on the market. These boots are made to be worn all day and the comfort is unmatched. The only downfall with these boots is the same issue you'll have with any wading boot in that eventually the laces will break due to getting wet and drying out time after time. Replace with new laces and you are good to go for many more fishing sessions.

Ideal for
  • Super Lightweight
  • Extreme Durability
  • Great traction
Not ideal for
  • Laces will break after getting wet and drying out multiple times

Lightweight for easy packing, the Orvis Men's Ultralight Wading Boot outperforms the rest.As an integrated part of the Orvis Ultralight Wading System, the Men's Ultralight Wading Boot offers exceptional performance and durability without the bulk and weight of a conventional boot. Helps eliminate the need to leave essential gear or clothing at home because of airline weight restrictions, and significantly reduces the energy expended in walking and wading. Over the course of the day this becomes a tremendous benefit for the angler in terms of the overall experience. In cobblestone/citron.

What is a wading boot?

Wading boots are boots that are specifically designed to be used with stockingfoot waders. They are designed to be comfortable but yet durable and able to withstand rocks and other submerged hazards. The soles are often made of felt, or lugged for better gripping of the river bottom.

Matt was so easy to work with. He answered all my questions and there were many. He offered detailed explanations for his recommendations and sold me exactly what I needed, nothing more and nothing less. He also gave me valuable information regarding the sport of fly fishing and not just the current equipment I was seeking to buy. It was an amazing experience. Thanks Matt!

5 /5
Rylyn found a sale for the Douglas Sky G rod and recommended it. He said that this was the best rod in the market and so I bought it. We paired it with monic Trout Master fly line. I was not disappointed at all! The rod feels intuitive and natural to cast. I could cast more accurately and a longer distance than I ever did with my previous rod.

I recently purchased a pair of waders through Curated with Stefan’s help. They were very helpful and able to get me exactly what I was looking. Items were perfect for my price range and the days by the streams/lakes that I will spend my time at. I enjoy researching products on my own, and was worried Curated might take the fun out of things, but this service is great for people like me also. Whether you have an idea of what you want, or are just getting started looking I would highly recommend Curated, and Stefan!

Found a great deal on Curated for a Daiwa fishing pole. My sales representative, Josh, was very helpful in answering questions before the order. Even more impressive was how he and Curated responded when the rod was delivered broken (not their fault). They immediately helped guide me through the return process which provided me the confidence that this would be resolved without issue. New rod is on the way and I have already ordered a second one!

Rylyn is attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. He promptly responded to my inquires throughout the day and continued to send over his well written personal reviews of products and created bundle deals catered to my needs. When an issue arose with products not being available, he sent over the links I needed to get the products those products within a few minutes. If only every shopping experience was like this. Thanks again for lending your expertise and helping me find the top products I needed for my fly fishing trip at an affordable price.
