Drift Wading Sandals from Orvis
Looking for fishing sandals for the soon to begin season?
For $49.99, Orvis has an affordable solution for your warm weather wading needs. When accompanied by a pair of shorts or swimming trunks, these nice fishing sandals allow fishermen to get that much closer to hotspots without all of the hassles involved with wearing waders.
Likewise, these sandals have a couple of pluses that make them a better choice than an old pair of sneakers.
For starters, shoes are apt to get filled with small pebbles, and the only way to get rid of them is to remove the shoe every five minutes or so. Also, the sandals have a slip-resistant felt/lug sole.
The open foot/felt sole combination makes the Drift Wading Sandal a great choice for all wading conditions, whether it be slippery rocks, silt, or river gravel, and they were a welcomed addition to my gear last summer.
One particular hole on one of the local creeks is pretty wide, and there is a submerged boulder on the opposite side of the creek. I like to fish this spot with night crawlers and no weight, so many casts fell well short of my target. I can honestly say that wading into the stream allowed me to catch several nice-sized smallmouth bass, and I have the sandals to thank for my good luck!
AND after a day on the stream, they cleaned up nicely and were easily stored under the car seat.
The Orvis Drift Wading Sandal is available in men's full sizes 7-12 and are now on sale for 29.99 at www.orvis.com.
Overall I would rate this product as a keeper!
