What types of wading boots and shoes do you sell?

At Drift Outfitters, we carry a wide range of wading boots and shoes designed for comfort, traction, and durability. Options include lightweight wet-wading shoes for summer, rugged felt-sole boots for slippery riverbeds, and stud-compatible rubber soles for all-season versatility.

Should I choose felt or rubber soles for my wading boots?

Rubber soles are more versatile, easier to clean, and often required where felt is restricted due to invasive species concerns, if fishing in freezing conditions rubber is always better. Many anglers add studs to rubber soles for maximum traction. Felt soles offer exceptional grip on slimy rocks and are popular on many trout streams.

How do I choose the right size of wading boots?

Boots need to be sized large enough to fit over the stocking feet of your waders, so most anglers go up one full shoe size. Always check the manufacturer’s sizing chart and consider whether you’ll wear thicker socks or use them for wet-wading in warmer months.

Which wading boot brands do you carry?

We stock top wading footwear brands Simms and Patagonia. These companies are trusted for their durability, comfort, and innovation in fly fishing gear.

Can I use wading boots for wet-wading without waders?

Yes, many anglers use wading boots or shoes with neoprene socks for wet-wading in the summer. This setup is lightweight, breathable, and keeps your feet protected while fishing without full waders.

How should I care for my wading boots?

Always rinse boots after use, especially in saltwater, and allow them to dry completely before storage. Cleaning off mud and debris helps extend their life and prevents the spread of invasive species between waterways.
