Wading Boots Checklist

Ankle Support is Everything. No ankle support = guranteed trip to the hospital or a header into the river. Any boot you buy must provide solid ankle support. Period.
Felt or Studs? Felt is the most common sole for wading boots, as they are easily replaceable and work extremely well in helping you grip the rocks. Only in certain circumstances does an angler need to use studs.
Boot Drain Well? Some of the less-expensive boots you'll find have one nasty tendency...they fail to drain completely. The result is that you carry around a bunch of water in your boot when you leave the river.
Rot Resistance : Avoid buying any boot that contains something that "rots"...such as pure leather. Synthetic leather is one common boot choice and which works very well.
Clean & Dry Those Boots! We're all guilty of it, but some are worse than others. Once you're done fishing, be sure to air out the boots so they dry completely. And it never hurts to wash them out in your kitchen sink or under a garden hose, either...getting rid of any mud/grime/mold, etc...
Sizing Wading Boots : Most wading boots are sized "one size up," thus allowing room for the wader to fit inside the boot, too. However, some boots are not sized up. Instead, these boots state that the angler should order "one size up" from their shoe size. The moral of the story is this....read the description of the boots carefully to make sure you get one that is properly sized!
