Wading boots CREEK DARK EDITION andrew

ATTENTION: The specified wading size already takes into account the space required for the neoprene booties of your waders. So if your normal street shoe size is 10 we recommend that you also take the wading boots in this size.

The wading boots CREEK DARK EDITION were developed by us in cooperation with the company Andrew (Montebelluna - Italy). The model CREEK DARK EDITION is a technical wading boot of superlatives, for fly fishing in alpine environment, characterized by torrential mountain creeks, rocks, often long walks before fishing and sometimes also necessary climbing.

These wading boots are relatively stiff due to their field of use in alpine terrain. Nevertheless, they are comfortable to wear and provide maximum protection and safety in difficult terrain.

After more than 1,000 successfully completed test hours in the 2015 season, we are confident the CREEK DARK model is among the best wading boots currently available. It can easily compete with the flagship models of the most prestigious US brands (Far East production). These wading shoes are 100% made in Italy.

The CREEK DARK EDITION is designed for guides and all those fly fishermen who do a lot of fishing trips in mountainous surroundings and prefer technical wading boots that are almost indestructible.

We can recommend the CREEK DARK EDITION primarily for use in fresh water. In aggressive salt water, the metal parts of the eyelets can corrode. In this case, the Marea Dark by Andrew is the perfect wading boot for you. Also extremely durable and super comfortable, it contains no metal parts at all, making it 100% saltwater resistant.

The wading boots come with a small pouch containing 2 D-rings.
They are used to create a secure attachment point for the gravel guard hook of your waders.

Installation:

Remove the laces from your wading boot.
Thread the laces through the fabric loop attached to the D-ring.
Re-lace the boot as usual.

Correct positioning:

Put on your waders and wading boots.
Pull the gravel guards down over the boots.
Check where the gravel guard hook naturally rests on the boot.
Attach the D-ring slightly below that point.

This creates a slight tension once the gravel guard is hooked in, ensuring it stays securely and reliably in place at all times.

Here are the main technical features:

Upper material: Innovative technical fabric of the company Andrew, high abrasion and wear resistance.
The complete upper part including the flap are made in one piece, without seams.
Special felt sole for water use (with or without tungsten studs)
Midsole: Polyurethane bi-density, high toughness and differentiated shock absorption
Mounting base: medium rigidity
Footbed: Lintec hydro
Lining: Mesh hydro
Hooks: made of stainless steel with Easy Roller ball bearings for low friction
Shoelaces: waterproof and durable
Protective rubber: highly elastic and abrasion-resistant, shock-absorbing

We offer the replacement of the soles for the CREEK DARK wading boots as an additional service.

Please note: Due to the natural flexing motion when walking, the rubber rand may occasionally separate from the upper at a small, localised point in the flex area of the wading boot, as the special adhesive is desied to give slightly to accommodate the different stretch characteristics of the materials. This is completely normal, remains localised and does not affect the function, stability or service life of the wading boot.
