“The size I ended up with were actually 2 sizes larger than my previous wading boots. Apart from the mental anguish of such a large fit these boots are SUPER comfortable and if I ignore the number I would rate these as a really comfortable boot in general - not just a wading boot - but any boot. I ended up spending more than I intended but I am glad I did. Wearing these all day is a dream. The grip is actually pretty good on both weed and rocks.”
