I have been thinking about getting some wading boots. My last set of keens fell apart this past fall after a few fishing trips. I have been looking at the Korker Greenbacks. I like the idea of having multiple soles and not multiple boots. Does anyone on here have them? What boots do yall use for wet-wading?

I have the Simms riprap shoes and really like them. I can't comment on the durability yet, but Simms is usually pretty good.

They're very comfy for me, paired with neoprene socks and the grip is as good as anything else I've tried.

Depends on what you're wading in. I have a pair of simms freestone that are nice for gravel and cobble. If I'm on sandy or silty bottoms, I like the 4everlast (I prefer the ray guard line without the shin wraps). I had a pair of korkers that were really comfy, but if you have a big foot the soles don't stay on very well in soft or sticky stuff.

I have Korkers Devil's Canyon. I love them. Lightest boot on the market IMO and most comfortable.

i have 2 pairs of simms and i love them a lot

Get you a nice set of wading boots and a cheap a$$ set of wading socks with gravel guards. Got my neoprene socks w/guards from Academy for $10. Go Redington or Simms with the boots.

I have the Metalheads from a few years ago. They're nice although I think I'd prefer regular laces vs the BOA but they are comfortable. Definitely get either studs or felt or both, and if just the rubber then avoid the Kling-on. It doesn't compare to the Vibram.

I liked the idea of hiking into a place and switching up soles but have since moved on to the Simms RipRap shoe as well for creeks. Also with the neoprene socks. Boots were just overkill for creeks and I was surprised how warm my feet stayed in the socks/shoes vs having to lug my waist-highs. I still use the boots for other stuff. I keep thinking I'm gonna get a pair of those Chota Hippies but haven't found the need.

New Simms VaporTread Salt wading boots.

Thanks everyone for the info. I'll definitely be looking in to some of those. It may help to say that I mainly fish the DFW area with occasional trips to the hill county and east Texas. I haven't made it down to the coast yet, but it's on my list of places to fish.

Teva sandles with a closed toe to keep out sand and gravel. If I'm wet wading means it's warm not lugging boots anywhere. Just how I roll but a lot of places I fish are off the beaten path. In my search of solitude light sandles and warm water my go to for sure. I leave the high tech boots to the waders.

That's why I liked my keen newports. If it wasn't for the stitching coming apart I would still have them. I have had two set of the newports and both lasted about a year so I can't justify getting them again. How long have you had your Tevas?

Hey i love sandals and use my Keens as much as the next guy but the OP asked for recs on wading BOOTS.

I got several years out of one pair and two out of another. This was with very extensive use. I mentioned the sandles because I consider them my wading boots when I wet wade. So still thought it was on topic.

I agree with robert -- Wet wading is all about mobility and lightness --> sandals. I had a pare of Merell closed toed water sandals that I loved, until they fell apart. Now I have the Simms.

I agree with him as well and a lot of times I have gone without any kind of footwear. To me if it has a closed toe it's not a sandal anyway. Plus they aren't off my list just as long as they can last more than a year.
