Shop Tip - Expert Fit Guide: Sizing Your Orvis Wading Boots
For the perfect fit, we recommend that anglers size up one full size from their standard street shoe size when wearing wading boots with waders.
This extra room is essential for accommodating the added volume of neoprene wading booties and heavy wool socks. Proper sizing ensures you don't restrict blood flow; maintaining healthy circulation is the best way to prevent cold feet and ensure all-day comfort while on the water.
-
Standard Fit: Go up 1 size (e.g., if you wear a size 10 shoe, buy a size 11 boot).
-
Half Sizes: Since Orvis boots are available in whole sizes only, half-size anglers should round up (e.g., a 10.5 street shoe should move to a size 12 wading boot).
