Whether you wade the bays, lakes, rivers, or the beachfront, a good pair of wading shoes is an essential gear item. You never know what lurks at the bottom. Rock, broken glass, nails, shells, and yes even the dreaded sting ray. I have had a personal encounter with a sting ray and it is something I hope never to repeat. When it’s too hot for waders, Foreverlast wading shoes, or boots, are just the ticket.

Foreverlast Reef Boots
Great footwear for any wade fishing application, Foreverlast Reef Boots are tough and designed with extra protection when wading in areas with sharp rocks, shells, sea urchins or other hazards to your feet. It only takes one misstep to appreciate good wading boots. Trust me, I’ve been there done that.
Ray-Guard Reef Boots were designed for the coastal angler who wades reef structure to catch bait or trophy trout, or for those who like site casting from the deck of the boat. A hard soled bottom combined with 4 layers of vulcanized rubber provide excellent protection from reef and other underwater structures while remaining lightweight and comfortable fitting. These boots are excellent for beach wear or for the rugged conditions while wading, and they can be used in combination with our new Ray-Guard Shields to provide complete protection from underwater urchins as well. •Sizes 4-15 (whole sizes only)
Features:
- Designed for wading reef structure to catch bait or trophy trout
- Great for beach wear or site casting from the deck of the boat

Foreverlast Flats Boots
If you spend most of your time wading areas where the risk of sharp objects and hazards are minimal, Foreverlast Flats Boots make a good choice. Lighter weight than their Reef Boots, they have plenty of protection for the soles of your feet and the neoprene uppers give adequate protection from minor scrapes, scratches and punctures.

Foreverlast Ray Guards
The Cadillac of wade fishing protection is the Foreverlast Ray Guards. Having spent 3 agonizing hours traveling to the emergency room with a sting ray wound, I would highly recommend you consider these guards if you wade in areas where the sting ray likes to roam. An added bonus is that these guards double as snake guards as well and can be worn over your hunting boots when you venture afield. A very good and wise investment for anyone who ventures outdoors.

Foreverlast Boots and Ray Guards: The Verdict
Foreverlast wading boots and guards are a great product from a great company. They’ve been producing the highest quality products for the outdoorsman for over 20 years now and they keep getting better and better.
If you wade fish, protect your feet and legs. A good wading boot, set of ray guards or even a Sharkbanz device could save your fishing trip. Leaving the fish biting to run to the emergency room is no fun on multiple levels. Check out all of their hunting and fishing gear at: foreverlastonline.com.
