fine bootsHad another brand of boots, could not make them fit right, with the help of your staff they helped me with this problem, turned out to be a good decision! I think these are the best boots I've had so far and I am 75 yr's old!

Heavy, slow drain.Picked this up for an upcoming salt trip. I used them at the lake to see how they were going to do. They are very heavy and drain extremely slow. The water sloshes around in the boot until you take it off and pour the water out. The tops do not form a water tight seal so sand will get in unless you use additional guards over the top edge of the boot.
On a positive note, they seem very durable and should protect your feet well on oyster bars and reefs.

LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT EVERLASTI've worn them twice with my "stockiing" waders through arm-pit high weeds in a marshy area. Bought extra size to assure plenty of room for wader "foot". Boots clean up well. Side zipper and velcro closure worked well.

Nice boot, terrible soleThese boots are great for areas where there isn't shell, but get torn up terribly if there is. The rubber is just too soft and the shell chews them up. If I get this season out of them, I'll be surprised.

Great for wading! Really comfortable :)I love my reef boots and always wear them when I wade fish. They are comfortable and provide good protection for your feet when in the water. They stay on your feet even when walking in mushy ground because of the adjustable velcro strap.

Ray-Guard Men's wading bootsSturdy. Solid, side zipper, it's what every wade fisher needs.
this Ray Guard is tons better than all other products you can get.
Listen... I wade fish, and sight fish for Tailing Redfish in Carolina coastal lowcountry Spartina Grass Flats. I know redfish and wade fishing; and you cannot do better than this for foot protection.
Sized well. My last pair lasted eight years. Listen this is what you need- get it.
"I am JOE GUIDE and I know everything you might need to know about - Redfish on A Fly.. or a light tackle-you will NOT be disappointed in this product my friend."

How in the world does that neoprene upper protect the ankle area from stingrays? Am I seeing something wrong?
Asked by: Roscoe17
Well it's better than bare skin that's for sure. As a marine biologist, it would completely depend on the stingray. Small ones wouldn't be able to penetrate the bootie. But a larger ray may be able to, but you're less likely to have the barb stick in the skin. You should always shuffle your feet to be safe.
