Andrew Creek Dark V2 Wading Boot Wet Grip

The Andrew Creek Dark V2 is a top notch, fully handcrafted wading boot made in Italy (Montebelluna) – finally available in a nifty black design. Already back in 1981 the Italian boot-manufacturer Andrew was well known for his exceptionally indestructible mountain boots. In pursuit of creating the strongest wading boot on today’s market the company now presents the new Andrew Creek Boot.

The Creek boot has originally been developed for fly fishing in the alpine Italian Mountains where long arduous hikes in technically demanding terrain are daily fare. Therefore it is hardly surprising that the Creek Boot features designs elements of modern hiking boots. Equipped with a high cut, ankle reinforcement and rubber protectors in high wear areas this boot offers exceptional stability, support and longevity. Despite its strong built the Creek Boot is incredibly comfortable and a real treat to walk in – if you are looking for this kind of comfort look no further!

The most notable innovation of the CREEK DARK V2 compared to its predecessor is certainly the completely newly developed Wet Grip sole. It is specially designed for use in wet areas and water and is characterized by excellent slip resistance on wet, slippery and overgrown surfaces.

• Wet Grip Sole
  A completely new rubber compound was developed for the Wet Grip sole, which has very elastic and extremely soft properties, which also has a very positive effect on walking comfort. However, the great advantage of this new material is its brilliant mechanical resistance at all temperatures. The resulting low wear on all surfaces ensures extreme durability of the wading shoe. Thanks to its controlled deformability and viscoelastic behavior, the sole adapts perfectly to any ground shape and increases the effective contact area. This is further enhanced by the slightly wider sole, allowing you to take advantage of the maximum contact and friction area with every step. This makes wading in difficult situations much easier and therefore safer!

Further features:

• Outer material: seamless one piece construction
• Innovative technical fabric with high abrasion- and wear resistance
• Rubber reinforcements: highly elastic, abrasion resistant and cushioning
• Sole: the completely new rubber compound was developed for the Wet Grip sole
• Mid sole: Polyurethane-Bi-Density for high shock absorption and durability
• Foot bed: Lintech hydro
• Lining: Mesh hydro
• Bootlaces: water proof and long-lived
• Bootlace hooks: stainless steel with easy roller bearings for decreased friction
• Weight per pair (size 10): with felt outsole approx. 1800 g

The Creek Boot is 100% made in Italy and perfectly combines functionality, comfort and quality to form one of the best wading boots on today’s market - ideally suited for all those spending many days out on the water or in rugged terrain. This pair of boots truly represents an unconditional recommendation for fly fishing enthusiasts!  

Remarks:

• For the perfect fit, we recommend you choose your street shoe size, as the neoprene feet of your waders have already been taken into account.
• Andrew offers resoling of the boots independent of the sole type (rubber and felt). The costs for this service lay at approximately ¼ of the Boot price (incl. VAT, excl. shipping costs).
