These would seem to work well for wet-wading anglers. Looks like they could withstand a couple mile hike-in followed by a day in a river filled with gravel, sand, and boulders. A good price compared to summer waders from fly fishing companies, and a somewhat different feature set. I have some mids on order but after seeing this I'll probably exchange them for the 8 inch version. Thanks for the sand ingress test - that's an important factor for me. Cheers!
No. They come in that brown color in addition to black and some camo versions. The previous pair that I had was black, but were a bit tight. So, when I paid for the second pair, I decided to go up one half size. Also, sometimes boat captains when they see a boot like that in black think that you are going to mark up their deck. Not a problem when they are coyote brown. See video #171 for the final sand test verdict.
How were the boots Chris? Thanks for all the hard work!

Do those have bungee cord shoelaces? Just curious. 🤔
No. They are just regular non-stretchy cord.
Did you dye them brown
