The best fishing boots

The Preston Innovations Drifish Field Boots feature a breathable fabric to keep your feet cool and to minimise the weight of the boot, they've been designed to allow you to walk long distances on any terrain. The boots have a reinforced sole to vastly improve their durability, with extra support built into the ankle area to prevent any injuries when walking over uneven ground.

These boots are incredibly comfortable thanks to their soft inner lining, so much so you may even forget you have them on!

If you want a comfortable boot that is also very stylish, then the Fox Khaki Camo Boots are definitely the boots for you. The boot itself is finished in a very pleasing Khaki/Camo Hydrotec material that is also waterproof to help prevent water ingress from rain, puddles and muddy banksides. The boots also feature a mesh inner material to help improve their breathability, so even on warm summer days you won't be uncomfortable or sweat whilst wearing them.

The Fox Khaki Camo Boots offer great ankle support and have a thick, chunky design to the base of the sole to increase grip and durability, so they will not only look good for ages, they will last too!

The Korda Kore Kombat Boots have been designed to replicate high-quality walking boots with added appeal and features to aid anglers when chasing their quarry. The boots have excellent waterproofing properties, so you won't need to worry if you're walking through wet grass or sloppy banksides, the boots will keep your feet dry, you can even stand in the water and they won't leak, until they are submerged.

The boots are really easy to get on and off, something that is normally difficult with a boot, so are perfect for using for carp angling when you need to slip into them during the night. The boots offer great support without being rigid, so they won't rub on your feet, helping to prevent any sore spots or blisters forming, great if you cover the miles in your angling. A chunky sole completes the boots, preventing any slipping or premature wearing. They are available in Black, Brown or Olive.

If you want ultimate confidence in your boots to keep your feet dry, the Nash ZT Trail Boots would be a hard option to ignore. The waterproofing material extends around the whole shoe to ensure no matter how bad the weather is or how wet the bankside becomes, these boots will withstand it all.

The boots are incredibly tough too, incorporating rotproof heavyweight laces with metal eyelets, they aren't going to disintegrate at the first sign of wear. A high grip sole prevents the chance of injury from slipping whilst also helping you navigate steep and uneven terrain with utmost ease and safety. The boots are not all performance though, as Nash have made them look superb too, a great all round boot for angling in any weather.

The Prologic Bank Bound Trek Boots have been created to cater for anglers that are mobile, cover lots of ground and need a shoe to perform in the harshest environments. The boots are available in a medium and high cut version to tailor to everyone's preferences, depending on how much protection you want and which style you find most comfortable.

The main material on the boot is made from a treated suede leather, not only does this give a premium look to the boot, it makes it waterproof and ensures longevity. The sole of the boot has a non-slip, deep track rubber design with a reinforced area on the toe and the heel to prevent wear when taking them off via the other shoe. The camo finish to the boot is lovely, whilst it won't appeal to everyone, to those it does will really admire the overall product.

Built with specialist anglers in mind, the Korum Neoteric Field Boot is the ultimate choice for anglers that can't sit still and have to be mobile. The boot is a sort of trainer/walking boot hybrid, which makes them very comfortable to wear, you can wear them all day and forget you've got them on. The mesh lining in the shoe makes them really breathable too, so your feet won't get hot and uncomfortable on those long, summer sessions.

The PU material (synthetic leather) on the boot is hardwearing and easy to clean, which makes them look as good as new between sessions, and by incorporating a flexible thermoplastic sole, the boots are exceptionally durable too. The flexible sole really makes a difference when walking a long way as it moves with your foot and is very lightweight, so you won't feel fatigued wearing them, but it still offers protection from sharp objects you may step on.

As the name suggests, the Daiwa Hotfoot Airlock Boots have been brought to the market to keep anglers' feet warm throughout the colder months. The boot is made in two halves, the bottom is a fully waterproof rubber material which will prevent water getting in if you stand in a puddle or walk through wet foliage. The top of the boot is made from a flexible fabric material which makes them easy to manoeuvre in, if you need to bend down the boots will fold over, which is important on a taller boot as it prevents it digging into your shin.

The boots are a snug fit with lots of insulation, which will lock out the cold and trap the heat generated by your movement inside the boot, hence the name Airlock. If you fish in the colder months and don't like to wear a pair of wellies, this boot is a great compromise, as it will offer good water resistance and really good thermal properties. The boots are very sturdy and they can give the impression that they are bulky, but they aren't, they are really lightweight and easy to get into.

If you do a lot of wading, whether that be when fly fishing or just enjoy getting into the water, the Wychwood SDS Gorge Wading Boot is tailor-made for this situation. Whilst the boot is referred to as a wading boot, it is not waterproof, instead it is designed to be as porous and lightweight as possible so the water flows though the boot, without saturating the fabric, which would weigh it down.

The boot is easy to get on and off and offers superb support when walking on lakes and riverbeds, where you can't always see what you're stepping on. The cleated sole really grips the bottom and helps prevent you becoming unsteady on your feet. A leather mid-section with ripstop technology ensures the boot will withstand any contact with sharp objects or gravel. The boots also dry off really quickly, so once you're out of the water they will be dry in no time at all.

The boot is intended to be used with a pair of stocking waders or drysuit, giving you a more comfortable and safe way of traversing the often slippery riverbed. If you walk a long way, are in and out of the water and often feel weighed down by the wellies on standard waders, this option could be great for you.
