Andrew Fly Edition Vibram Wading Boot with Rubber Sole

The newly revised version of the popular Andrew FLY wading boot is finally here! The Andrew FLY is the classic alternative to the popular CREEK models and has been an absolute favorite among fly fishermen for many years, who are looking for a rugged, stable, and above all durable boot. Like all Andrew wading shoes, the FLY is handcrafted in Italy (Montebelluna) and belongs to the absolute top class. Since 1981, the Italian manufacturer has been known for its indestructible mountain shoes and has now set itself the goal of designing the most robust wading shoe on the market.

The FLY wading shoe not only impresses with its classic and timeless design, but also its high functionality and robustness. It is made of water-repellent Taiga leather and abrasion-resistant Cordura, known for its enormous durability. The major strengths of this wading shoe are its incomparable comfort, perfect fit, and high traction. These wading shoes are designed for all situations that a fly fisherman may encounter: from the coast to the rushing mountain streams.

To protect against rugged stones and minimize impacts, it is reinforced all around with an extremely durable and abrasion-resistant rubber coating. Despite this outstanding robustness, it is simultaneously so comfortable that during initial tests, we almost didn't want to take them off. You'll hardly find greater comfort anywhere else! The high-quality soles and midsoles also contribute to the comfort while wading, bonded with a special multi-component adhesive of German manufacture. Its optimal application has been perfected by Andrew through years of research and development, providing another guarantee for wading shoes that hold together securely even after hundreds of hours of use. The midsole and its bonding have been redesigned and further improved in this latest version, providing even better cushioning and durability than before.

Particularly fly fishermen with narrow feet, who often find other wading shoes to be too loose, will appreciate this sleek wading shoe.

Among the numerous other technical features of the Andrew FLY are:

• Upper material made of water-repellent Taiga leather and abrasion-resistant Cordura (Original)
• Protective rubber: highly elastic and abrasion-resistant, shock-absorbing
• Sole: Vibram 7130 New Boulder rubber sole (Made in Italy) with anti-slip suction cups
• New midsole: Polyurethane Bi-Density, high toughness and differentiated shock absorption
• Mounting base: medium stiffness
• Insole: Lintec hydro
• Lining: Mesh hydro
• Eyelets: made of stainless steel with Easy Roller ball bearings for low friction
• Suitable for saltwater
• Weight per pair (size 43) approx. 1900 g
• Laces: waterproof and durable

The FLY by Andrew is 100% made in Italy and combines function, comfort, and quality in a perfect way. And all this with a traditional look! Those who spend many days at the waterside and value longevity are well served here. Due to its unrestricted suitability and corrosion-resistant components, even sea trout anglers who subject their wading shoes to the most adverse conditions daily are well advised with the FLY. For us, there is therefore an unconditional recommendation to buy!

Notes:

• Andrew has accounted for space for a neoprene bootie in the sizing. However, we recommend choosing the wading shoe one size larger for the perfect fit, especially if you also want to wear thick socks under the waders! For example, if you wear size 43 (street shoes), we recommend a wading shoe in size 44.
• As a special service, the manufacturer offers resoling - regardless of the type of sole. The service price (including VAT, excluding shipping costs) for this is approximately 1/4 of the purchase price.
