What it is?
Orvis has made a pair of boots that will last a lifetime. These boots have a one-piece outer shell that is made from a durable truck bed liner. Even after a year of almost daily use, they show no signs of wear. There is a short break in time with them because of this. The Michelin sole lives up to its billing and provides 30% better wet traction than other vibram soles so those studs can just stay on the shelf! The footbed in this boot is slightly narrower than other Orvis models so it fits on more of a half size and is a great unisex product. The BOA lace system is great to have on a colder day and makes getting in and out super easy. Extra laces are sold for these boots and would be a good idea to have on hand just in case the boots are over-tightened but replacements are easy to install once obtained.

- Strategically placed locations for optional studs
- Industry-first PU-casting construction eliminates seams in high-wear areas and drastically improves durability

When sizing for wading boots, typically we like to start one size up from your normal shoe size. This is to accomodate for the added volume needed when wearing waders.
The chart below lists the ORVIS Wading Boot sizing with equivalent shoe sizes. Please use this chart when ordering to ensure an ideal fit. (i.e. Men's US size 10 would take an ORVIS Men's Wading Boot size 11.)
