After some waders, will not be sat in them, just something to chuck on quick if a fish gets into snags etc at my lake.
Ideally not really heavy to save on weight, and also need to be as easy to slip on as possible.
Have had a look through threads on here, people say the vas 700 series have an easier boot to get into? But can't see anything about that on thier website / in thier description.
Also size wise, do people generally go a size up? To help slip into them more easily?

I bought a pair of Pros a couple of weeks ago after reading good reviews on here. I'm fed up of replacing fishing branded ones after a season

For the money they seem fantastic, a proper thick material that doesn't feel like it's going to start leaking quickly unlike the crappy, overpriced Fox ones I've just binned. I went for a size up which fits perfectly and the welly seems to hold itself open meaning they are easy to get on.

Very happy so far.

Thanks for link, not fussed on what brand they are or how they look just want good quality ones that are easy to get into and are also fairly light!

Thanks 👍🏽 I can't get a size up in these by the looks of it as I'm a size 12 and that's the largest they do

I have these in an 11 and I'm a size 11, some people like to go a size up but I'm fine with the sizing

Pro's recommend that you buy your normal size. I did and they are spot on👍

Two contradicting paragraphs on the Pros website-

Designed to be used by both professional fishermen and for leisure fishing activities. Waders are manufactured to a standard shoe size so we recommend your usual size of shoe.

Then a bit further down in green text

Waders are manufactured to a smaller shoe size
so we recommend that you order one size bigger
than your usual size of shoe.

Might be an idea to give them a ring, see what they recommend.

Well I'm a 12 and the largest they do is a 12 so if I need bigger then I'm screwed anyway!

This is the email he sent me when I ordered a few weeks ago, I'm a 9 and bought 10, they're perfect.


Im not sure if you noticed on the website, however we have recently just improved the wellies on the Waders. They are a slightly smaller fitting than the previous ones.
With you ordering a size 10 I think a 11 would be more suitable.
Shall I send you a 11 instead of a 10 or did you already take this into account when ordering?

Cheers
Danny

Bought a pair of black pros after good reviews on here, thick and look like they'll last. Alot better than my last ones that cost me the same amount
Are you sure?
