Wading boots for those with elf feet?

[DJBerg]

I'm looking for advice from those of us tall skinny guys with long skinny feet...

Example for my request, I buy hiking boots every 6 months, pretty much because of the sole pulling apart from me tying the boots tight enough to hold me in the boots...

So with that said I'm looking for studed or stud able wading boots.

Thanks DJ

My father in law recently purchased these...

Good supportive padding around the ankle, and they come with several inserts. They're more of a hiking/wading hybrid than a traditional wading boot but they'll take studs. I can't personally vouch for them but my FIL has long, skinny feet and likes them. I'm the opposite (short, fat feet) but these will be high on my list for new boots next time as I do a lot of small stream stuff with long hikes.

These boots are pretty good but a little stiff, I think they go to size 14 or 15, and they come with the studs installed. I got mine at a steal for $89 in March or April but they are on sale now for $109, which isn't bad at all for a studded boot.

I see they're not available in the size 14, same thing when I got them. If you have a local Orvis dealer, have them order them for you at the store, they'll get free shipping and should be able to get you the 14. Good luck.
