NAVITAS LITE Insulated Boots

Product Information

As you can see from the photos, you have a fair bit of height in the Skee-Tex boots, so you’ve got plenty of ankle support and warmth to keep you as comfortable as possible. They are a little more cumbersome to get on vs’ the Vass boots, so don’t expect to be dashing out of your sleeping bag and putting these on before bending into a fish. (keep your crocs for that 😉)

We’re in a funny old sport where it’s actually beneficial to have a pair of boots that are easy to slip on. The last thing you want when you get a take is to be tying laces all the way up your ankles! We’ve had a look at the boots themselves in depth, so let’s discuss what you should look for in your carp fishing footwear. Warmth SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT – Understatement of the year they are on average 70% lighter than a normal welly boot! That’s ridiculously light! It makes walking round the lakes and up and down the rivers an absolute doddle, no more tired feet or legs. Massive bonus for those that have to walk through mud and puddles or even long grass. By some miracle though, your feet still breathe in the summer, so they don’t get too hot! Bloody brilliant!HEAT PRESERVATION – How do you keep your feet warm in the winter? Well firstly your feet have to be warm before you put them in the boots. Same applies for sleeping bags, they use the body’s warmth to keep you warm! They do not generate heat. You put cold feet in cold boots, you are going to be miserable all day.

Yeah, they are just a pair of welly boots, there are heaps of other boots on the market that do the same thing blah blah blah. As anglers we’re constantly taking out boots on and off when getting in and out of the bivvy (what a pain!), so Speero have made sure reinforce the rear of the boots with a moulded heel stabiliser. This should make sure that they don’t suffer from any sort of collapse at the rear and continue to provide you with good ankle support for years to come.Alternatively, products like the Lapland Thermo Boot are ideal for anglers that venture towards colder waters. These aren’t just fishing shoes; engineered from smart materials and lightweight thermo foam rubber, these fishing boots from Eiger help maintain body temperature and are super comfortable with a polar fleece lining! You might not wear such heavy-duty boots all the time, but we know you will be so grateful for the times you do need them! High-Tech Fishing Shoes Although at first glance they don’t look like a 100% waterpoof boot, but don’t be fooled! These Alcor boots feature a waterproof hydroguard membrane, so you can be sure that these will keep your feet dry throughout the winter months. The important things to remember when you’re browsing for a new pair of fishing shoes or boots are; material, traction and comfort. As anglers ourselves, we also know that they type of fishing you enjoy will also impact your style of fishing shoes. Innovative designs for fishing shoes utilise modern technologies and develop smart materials to ensure you’re not slipping all over the place. Super-lightweight!: Anti-fatigue; long lasting comfort for work or leisure. Average weight is less than 350g each. Compare this to the usual 1,250g welly boot. Again, another reason why many opt for the Vass boots as their go-to footwear. If you’re more of a bivvy bound carper, definitely consider some of the other options though as they make it up in warmth and overall comfort. Breathability
