Orvis Pro Wading Boot is engineered for serious anglers, featuring a Michelin Outdoor Extreme outsole that delivers best-in-class wet traction for fly fishing. This collaboration reshapes footwear with a sole designed for water, mud, and slippery rock.
The Michelin Outdoor Extreme outsole uses tire geometry to widen the footprint, increase surface contact, and reduce slip. A two-layer midsole houses a co-molded ESS plate for stud retention and torsional stability, while a Phylon midsole enhances river feel and reduces compression versus standard EVA.
