Quick take
A women's wading shoe with a grip sole for slippery rocks and moss, designed to fit neoprene booties or socks.
A women's wading shoe with a rubber sole, lace-up closure with speed laces, a cushioned insole and a reinforced toe and heel. The ankle-high, felt-free build suits mossy rocks, downed logs and muddy bottoms. It runs about a half size large to leave room for a neoprene bootie, so anglers wearing thick wading socks should keep that in mind when sizing.
Best for
- Wading streams on slippery bottoms with moss or mud
- Anglers wearing neoprene wading booties
- Women who want a wading shoe that matches neoprene wader geometry
Skip if
- You want felt-soled wading shoes
- You do not plan to wear wader booties
Strengths
- EcoSmart Grip sole is legal in all states and grips wet rock surfaces
- Speed laces let you get in and out quickly
- Padded design is comfortable for all-day wading
Trade-offs
- Neoprene and padding add weight compared to minimal wading shoes
- Oversized fit may feel loose if worn without a wader bootie
- High maintenance; need to rinse and dry after each outing
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
