Wading Boots - ALTA NGx VIBRAM - GUIDELINE
The Guideline Alta NGx Boot Vibram are premium wading boots designed to deliver an excellent level of comfort, stability and durability.
This version features a Vibram® Idrogrip™ rubber outsole, built to provide outstanding traction on a wide range of slippery river and lake surfaces. It is also an excellent alternative to felt soles, especially on waters where felt is banned for environmental reasons.
The upper is made from recycled Robic® Mipan® Regen™ ripstop nylon, both tough and lightweight. Reinforcements in high-wear areas effectively protect the boot against rock abrasion and long walk-ins.

La Fine Mouche's take: The Guideline Alta NGx Vibram are highly refined wading boots for anglers looking for more stability, support and durability, with the versatility of a premium rubber sole.
Compared to the felt version, the Vibram® Idrogrip™ outsole is better suited to long walk-ins, banks, paths and waters where felt is prohibited.
The Vibram sole remains an excellent choice for anglers who alternate between hiking and wading. It provides solid traction across many types of ground, with the option to add studs for extra grip in the slickest conditions.
