FoxelliWading Boots – Lightweight Fly Fishing Boots for Men, Rubber Sole Wading Shoes

Really nice wading boots. I hiked and fished with these for a week recently and they performed really well. Great support and tread for when I was hiking with a float tube on my back. Boots drain well and appear very well made so I expect them to last a long time. As a bonus there are no metal parts on the boots so they're good to go in saltwater.I sized up one size for a proper fit when wearing with waders.

I have worn these boots a handful of times now. Although I have nothing to compare them to as they are my first wading boots, I feel they are great quality for the price. Sturdy construction, easy to lace up and take off, even when wet. Insoles come out easy for drying.I typically wear a size 10 boot. I bought these boots in both a 10 and 11 but ended up keeping the 10. I wear medium weight wool socks inside my socked waders. My foot doesn't slide around or cause any blisters.We will see how they hold up for the long run but even if I only get 2-3 years out of them I think it's worth the price.

I used this for a solid weekend of creek wading and fly fishing. They were comfortable and sturdy. Just as solid of a product as something you could spend twice as much for.Also, one of the suggested review items is "Light Weight." I kind of rolled my eyes, because how can something be lightweight when it's full of water and you're walking through water? But then I thought more about my experience with them and realized that when I wasn't in water and immediately leaving the water, not once did I feel the boots. They truly are lightweight.I wear a size US 10 men's shoe and XXL waders. I bought US 12 men's boots and they fit my feet and waders perfectly. I probably could have gotten away with an 11, but it would have been tight. They say that they are sized to buy the same size shoe as you wear, but I would be wary and buy a size or two up.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. Glad I made the choice to go with these and look forward to using them for years.

I've had these boots now for 2 seasons, I purchased them to use in my float tube and pontoon fishing craft. Very happy with these boots I had a very light wieght canvas pair of boots the that I completely wore out and replaced with these. They are less bulcky than most wading boots witch makes putting on your fin easier.Pros: great traction, the raised pads on the heel helps to retain the strap for the fins.After a year and a half all materail are holding up well.Cons: the tongues are to thick and difficult to stuff in. The boots are light untill the get wet then they get very heavy and take days to dry out, even in Arizona.Inprovments would be to use closed cell foam in places were possible and reduce the size of the tongues.

I just used these boots climbing around the small creaks and canyons of Arizona.- The fit can be tricky. I have a 9.5-10 foot and bought the 10 and 11. I kept the 10 even though they are slightly tighter at the forefoot area but not much thinner than other wader boot brands. They are made larger for their size so they can accommodate neoprene foot waders. You can tell when you put them on with a regular sock, very roomy. With a sock and waders, they are snug but loosen up on the way to the creek. They are work well in the water.- They have an excellent hiking boot-like bottom, which is awesome for getting to and from a creek/river that has sharp rocks, gravel, sand, etc. I even had some grip in heavier mud trails. WAY better than a boot with felt.- The rubber feels slightly flexible and gripped well on trails. As usual, rubber tends to slip a bit on moss in rivers. With the money I saved buying these, I bought some Yaktrax Diamond Grip All-Surface Traction Cleats. Once I get to the water, I put those on really quick, secure them with a small bungee cord(just in case so I don't loose it if it pops off for some reason) and had zero issues with moss or slipping.- The inside sole can be removed and dried out. The sides of the boot remain wet after use but that's like most boots with cushion. They drain very well.Conclusion:I'm in the West US, (think Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Sierra Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico.) Hiking around in rough areas with tough terrain and sharp rocks requires a good boot. These are perfect! I just put on breathable waders and traction spikes when I get to the river/creek. And, if I take a breathable, waterproof sock with a thicker hiking sock inside, I can take off my waders, wear the boots wet, and hike more trails. They ARE slightly snug at the forefoot so get the right size. Order a couple and send back the one that doesn't fit. How long they last has yet to be seen but I haven't been nice to them and they look really good so far. Great value and versatile. For the first time ever, I can fly fish with one set of boots!!!

Great shoe. Comfortable and very well made.

Great looking product. Test of time will tell. Nice fit (Order 1 size up to compunsate for stocking foot wader). Sole tread lugs is nice and deep.
