How to Choose the Right Fishing Footwear: Grip, Comfort & True Waterproofing

Your feet decide how much water you cover. With the wrong footwear, bankside travel becomes slower, colder and more tiring than it needs to be. With the right choice, you stay comfortable and confident no matter what the ground throws at you.

Grip that works in mud, grass and gravel

The bankside isn’t a paved path. Fishing demands soles that can bite into soft ground, wet planks and slippery edges. Proper traction keeps you stable when you need to lean over for netting or climb over roots and rocks.

True waterproofing, not hopeful labels

Water has a habit of finding its way in. Brands often claim waterproof performance when it’s really just a coating that gives up early. Look for real membranes tested for durability and water ingress, not marketing buzzwords.

Materials that last

NuBuck Leather (Trail Boots)

Premium NuBuck leather gives structure and long-term support while still looking the part. It balances toughness and comfort for anglers who walk long distances and tackle varied terrain.

Natural Rubber (Elements Boots)

Natural rubber bends and grips better than plastic imitations. It remains flexible in the cold rather than turning stiff and cracking after a season.

Waterproof Membranes (Trail Trainers)

Lightweight, breathable and designed to keep water out without overheating your feet. Ideal for roving sessions when you want the agility of a trainer with the confidence of a boot. Breathability matters for feet too

Wet socks turn cold quickly. Breathable membranes let moisture escape while blocking water from the outside, keeping your feet warm longer.
