| Wellies and waders are a thing of the past for most anglers unless, of course, the priority is to wade rather than wear the most comfortable and warm footwear. Angling footwear has gone through a series of major changes in the past few years, with more use being made of modern, waterproof and thermal materials. Anglers now demand that they should have warm feet, dry feet, and still be able to walk to their pegs without feeling they’re taking part in the latest moon landing. Ankle length boots, rather then almost knee length boots are the answer, for we just don’t need anything too long providing we’re not wading into the water. These are the key points to a good fishing boot:
There are a number of boots on the market that offer most, if not all, of those features, but some of them are so difficult to put on and remove it can be a nightmare. This is especially so when you’ve just got back to the car on a wet and windy night, your fingers are freezing and the last thing on Earth you want is a struggle to remove your boots. And that’s where these new boots from Chub score very highly. They really are easy to put on and get off, and part of the reason for this is that they have a generous width. So much so I would advise anyone to buy their correct size rather than a size bigger, like most of us do when we intend wearing them with a thick pair of socks. I can vouch for the fact that they are warm, comfortable, have good grip, are easy to walk in and waterproof to a depth of about two inches where the lower section is welded to the leather upper. The only thing I can’t comment on is if they are hard wearing, simply because I haven’t had them long enough to find out! Tech Spec:
