atvaholic Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yep, I was hoping to get another season out of them but it looks like they've had it :-) Any recomendations for a decent/inexpensive pair? Thes did not last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondar Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 i've heard alot of good things about the Cabelas brands of boots ($79) if you have a way of getting them to you without getting hit with heavy shipping and duty fees I have the Simms Guide boots with the Vibram soles and am very happy with them , they have been through a lot and are still in great shape ($225) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeter Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I've had the white river ones from BPS for 4 years and they are still in great condition. I do a lot of wading. They have a very solid toe and heel for support. Around $80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 cabelas and redhead are fine. in fact find a pair that's on sale... you can probably buy 3 pairs for the cost of one pair of simms... unless you're worried about impressing people on the river...but to this point nobody has outfished me, stayed warmer, or stayed drier because they wore simms over cabelas... but it's funny because some people think nothing about spending a grand on their waders/boots.

atvaholic Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 LOL Nice! Thanks! I like the price of these. Do they have a felt bottom? Also are they reasonably light for a wading boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDunn Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks! I like the price of these. Do they have a felt bottom? Also are they reasonably light for a wading boot? They are felt bottom with the option to stud. I put the studs in..... Yep, light and much more comfortable then I had anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigdritchie Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Go to Zellers and buy some cheap hiking boots that are about four sizes too big. They work great and will set you back about $35. Besides that, their rubber lug sole is way better than felt when you're walking in mud, sand, or in freezing temperatures. Waaay better grip. Felt sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnimon Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 My korkers boots with interchangeable bottoms have been good to me over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbait22 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I have the Simms Guide boots. They are a heavy but a strong boot - fit small on me. Good ankle support. The sole is slippery and I needed to studd them good - an extra $30. Felt bites on mud, snow and wet grass. The Simms soles are great in this regard. Patagonia once had the best studded no-felt. I'd like to try the Korkers one day. I'm kind of big on good boots and wading safety after my friend wiped-out on the Batch and broke her wrist. A wading staff is handy in some places too eg Soo Rapids. Down with Didymo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me less than 90 to my door. http://www.cabelas.ca/index.cfm?pageID=79§ion=&ID=21369 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
