Usage tips from our team of enthusiasts

Wading boots must be dried after each use. If you use them in saltwater or muddy conditions, rinse them thoroughly before leaving them to dry.

To choose your wading boot size, simply use your regular street shoe size. For example, if you wear a size 41, choose a size 41. If you wear a 41.5, go for a size 42.
For several years now, wading boots have been designed to account for the thickness of the neoprene bootie. It is therefore no longer necessary to go up a size from your usual size.
