Very Well Constructed and Comfortable!

Received the boots and unboxed them, and I am truly impressed with the quality of this boot! It seems very sturdy and well constructed. I also bought the Deep Eddy Zippered waders and put the boots on with the waders and they felt very comfortable. I walked around for a little bit and there was no slippage and felt great! The only issue I had was lacing them up. They were a little difficult to tighten up. And I kinda worry about the durability of the laces and them wearing thin and breaking or cutting because the eyelets seem sharp and the laces don't slide easily. I think after a few times of use they might give out. I'll give them a few outings and report back.

Great fit and quality boot. Poor lacing system.

Great cleated wader boots. Very comfortable, good traction, and durable quality. Size chart is helpful and accurate. Only 4 stars because the lacing system sucks. You can’t tighten the laces as tight as you’d like and the lacing grommets eventually wear into the laces. Would recommend the manufacturer switch to a nato style speed lace system.

Good Quality thus Far!

Love these boots! The studs provide excellent grip on slimy rocks. They are extremely comfortable and they look good! Let’s see how they hold up but after two months of intense fishing so far they are still like new!

Good boots, roomy

Very comfy boots, nice cushy top part that's comfy to walk longer distances in. Somewhat roomy inside. I usually wear a size 12 street shoe and the size 13 were the better size for me in these boots. The fact that they come with metal cleats is great. Good price.

For people who fish frequently, they will not hold up

I bought these boots around October of last year. They are ready for the garbage can. I fished approximately 100 times this past year and these boots did not hold up well at all. The outer shell started coming open from river wear and tear. While tying a boot, one day, one of the lace cleats broke off. The inner plastic heel form collapses when when I insert my right foot and has to be manually manipulated back in place or the boot would be very uncomfortable. I will never buy them again. If you fish a lot, they absolutely will not last. Now, if you fish 10 or 15 times a year, they are probably a cost effective option. So, the bottom line is, they are fine if you fish relatively infrequently. Then you may get 4 years or so out of them. If you fish a lot, do not buy them.

Buy some good laces!

Laces are poor quality, other that good wading boots. No half sizes so round up. I normally wear a 10.5 ordered 11 and they fit fine.
