wigeon jim Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'm looking for new waders for wildfowling what do you all recommend, muck boot waders get mentioned a lot, do they have the same boot as there wellies?

aberisle Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Jim i work in tackle shop and get to see lots of waders and the faults they develop most boot foot waders end up leaking at the boot usually the boot cracks, i have been though lots of waders and this year i have settled on a pair of snowbee stockingfoot neoprene waders and i am using the snowbee rock hopper boots the boots are quick to put on and have a zip fastening at the side they also have steel spikes in the sole that make them totally non slip i can walk over bladderwrack covered rocks or up a steep grass covered seawall without slipping or fear of slipping , i have not had that much of a chance to wear them this year ( its been too warm) but i had them on today and they were great. I also have the rockhopper wellington boots i have worn them a lot seatrout fishing on the rocks, wildfowling under a pair of waterproof trousers and in the snow and ice of last winter, you feel invincible in them everyone else was slipping about on the ice and i was walking about thinking "whats the problem" Here is a link to the waders and boots https://www.anglingactive.co.uk/snowbee-rockhopper-spike-sole-wading-boot.html https://www.anglingactive.co.uk/snowbee-neoprene-stockingfoot-chest-wader.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a pair for several years and have since tried boot foot and they aren’t as good. You can wear traditional wader boots or jus go for a pair of cheap oversize wellies to fit. Can’t comment on Snowbee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Being a pro ghillie i wear Orvis Pro breatheables, but at £495 a pair a bit steep. Wading boots come from Fishing Mad \Newlanark £40 a pair and i get a season out of them, 6 days a week/ 10 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
