There are moments in innovation when a breakthrough elevates
performance to a milestone in the evolution of a product. The
Orvis Pro Wading Boots introduce two
industry-first innovations:
A collaboration between Orvis and Michelin with 285 years of
combined experience to create the Michelin Outdoor Extreme Sole for
best-in-class wet traction, and the introduction of PU-casting
construction eliminating seams in high wear areas and drastically
improving durability.
Michelin Outdoor Extreme
The Orvis Pro Wading Boots are built on a sole
compound specifically designed for fly fishing using Michelin
agricultural tires as inspiration. This Michelin Outdoor Extreme
sole compound offers 25% better abrasion resistance and a 43%
improvement in wet traction. Michelin tire geometry offers a wider
footprint for stability, creates a higher ratio of surface contact
and the lug pattern reduces shock.
Stability and stud retention
12 strategically placed stud locations, as well as the co-moulded
ESS plate provides improved stud retention and torsional stability.
The shock-absorbing Phylon midsole compresses less than the
standard EVA midsoles. The OrthoLite 3D-moulded X25 insole
increases rebound and reduces fatigue, while Industry first
PU-casting construction eliminates seams in high wear areas and
drastically improves durability.
Comfort and support
No stitching is done on the toe to eliminate potential seam
failure. The Orvis Pro Wading Boots feature a
higher cut to provide ankle support, and they are lined with an EVA
closed-cell foam. There is scratch rubber at the toe-cap and heel,
and the oversized heel pull facilitates easier on-and-off. Tightly
woven laces keep the shoe stable and reduce broken laces.
