\"This<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a full time river guide, I spend over 300 days a year wearing wading boots. When it comes to wading boots, they not only help you fish, but they keep you safe and prevent injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some boots barely last me a season before they start to fall apart, while others might last me a few seasons. I know that most guys won’t fish 300 days over a five-year period, but it’s not always about durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wading boots are designed to help anglers navigate through strong river currents and remain stable while walking over rocky and slick terrain. Good boots will offer more ankle support which protects you from getting injured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wading boots also protect your waders from punctures and wear. For this reason I recommend getting the best set of wading boots you can afford. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do classes and river guiding, and sometimes I provide the waders and wading boots. Because of this, most years I own over 20 pairs of wading boots, so I have tested out many wading boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
