Wading Boots - LAXA 3.0 FELT - GUIDELINE
The Guideline Laxa 3.0 Felt Boot are comfortable, rugged, well-designed wading boots built for long days on the water. This version features a felt sole, highly regarded for its excellent grip on many wet surfaces.
The outer upper is made from 900D polyester, a tough, abrasion-resistant material. The boot has no DWR treatment, which means it is PFAS-free / with no added fluorocarbons. It is also listed as PVC-Free by Guideline.
The internal construction uses closed-cell foams to reduce water absorption and keep the boot light and comfortable. Reinforcements are integrated at the toe, heel, and lower section to improve support, protection, and durability when fishing.
