Great fit to pair with stocking foot waders
Bought these to go with a pair of waders.Light weight, wide enough (I usually wear a 10.5 wide). Bought these in a 12 to account for the neoprene wader feet. These fit great, drain fast and didn't cost a fortune. My son who wears an 11 also bought these in a 12 and his fit good. Mentioning that just to say you could probably get away with going +1 size above what you'd wear in a sneaker. Haven't had them long enough to have an opinion on durability, but they seem well made and should be useful for infrequent fishing trips

Work well, but…
These work very well and are reasonably comfortable given their low price. However, they are quite heavy and they take a LONG time to dry. I had to make a rack out of PVC to hold them upside down on an angle. Even with that it still takes 72 hours or so for the tongue and padding to dry. I recommend buy a size larger than your normal shoe size to accommodate the neoprene feet in most waders.

Pros And Cons
So firstly... I want to say that I gave these a 1 star, not because they are truly a 1-star product overall, but because when I go searching for important reviews, I look at the really good reviews and the really bad reviews first... And my experience has been personally bad for one reason. So, I i want to point out why these shoes just aren't working for ME.Firstly, these have honestly held up pretty well to many creek occasions, the ankle support is good, and the durability and overall comfort as well.That being said, here's what I hate. These are absolutely dangerous to use in the creeks of North Carolina. You will absolutely slip and slide all over the place. Different applications I can totally see being worthwhile, but if you plan to go to the more mountainous areas of states like NC, be absolutely aware that these shoes do not grip very well at all on algae or non-algae-covered underwater rocks.I could see these working well for flatter riverbeds. But not anything like I'm facing.I think I'm going to keep them for hiking use and maybe going creek SIDE. But not in. Also, they are pretty heavy when wet, but nothing terrible.

Well made products and excellent customer support
They provide great customer service and warranty is excellent. I submitted a claim and they promptly replied and resolved my issue. There boots are very comfortable and hold up in most extreme conditions. They have a excels price point and with good value. I’m confident to purchase any products from them because of this. I also purchased several waders and Jackets from them and they all have performed well.

Great customer service
I bought these a little less then a year ago and was happy with them until the sole started to separate from the shoe. I submitted a claim to the manuf and they were awesome. Quick to reply and resolved by sending me a replacement pair. Thats quality customer service!

Thread breaking on the shoe
My husband got these and they are not even a year old and he doesn’t wear them a lot. The threads on the side of the shoe are coming apart. So we are not too impressed. I could see this happening if they were worn constantly but they are not. So it’s a waste of money for us

Awesome!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!When I first opened the Amazon box, I thought, wtf: these are the first pair of footwear that I have ever bought that didn't come in a shoebox! They came in a large plastic bag! But when I took them out of the bag, I got that new shoe smell so I felt somewhat relieved.When I examined the boots, what I found was the highest quality workmanship. Not a thread out of place. Immaculate. I had bought them one size bigger than my regular shoe size and when I tried them on over my stockingfoot waders, they fit perfectly! They fit snugly with just enough room to wiggle my toes. Walking on my wood floor I could feel the softness of the rubber soles. So my advice as to sizing is go up 1 size. If you are a half size, go up a half size. I can safely say these boots are as good quality as any shoes I have ever owned, but time will tell how long they will last. My guess is because of the softness of the soles, they will be the first to go, especially if I have to do a lot of hiking in them. But that will be the tradeoff, there's always a tradeoff.Granted, I haven't waded in them yet, but I feel like these boots will last forever. Maybe I can get them resoled when the time comes. Not often do I feel this way about any product that I buy but I have become a big fan of 8fans. Niche products like this are way overpriced but when you get quality, the cost becomes more acceptable. I'm not sure if the lack of a shoe box was a calculated cost cutting measure but if it was, excellent! We create enough waste as it is.

A quality boot, but they're not anti-slip.
These boots are a quality product and very comfortable, but they are not anti-slip as advertised. I have used them twice now in small streams that have rocky and slippery river bottom and these boots do not stop one from slipping and sliding on the river bottom. I would never wear them in the larger rivers I fish as they are not safe under foot for fast water fishing let alone slow to medium flowing water. I'm going to have to put some cleats on them or some screw in spikes to make them safe for wading. It's a shame really because they are a very nice light weight boot to walk in, just not good in a rocky, slippery river/stream.

Fantastic value!
Bought these along with the 8 Fans stocking-foot chest waders. Amazing value at this price point, the quality and craftsmanship is equal to wading boots that cost twice as much. They have a good warranty as well, and 8 Fans customer service is excellent to deal with, would highly recommend these boots and their waders for a top quality budget fishing set.As others have said, order a size up. I wear size 13 shoes, sometimes 14 if they’re a small make. Ordered a size 14 in these and they fit perfectly with the waders.

NOT DURABLE
Says DURABLE. Its not. Very disappointed. 3rd pair in 14 months. 1 bought as a gift. 2 for hubby. Husband's both fell apart within months. Gave the product the benefit of the doubt & reordered a 2nd time. 2nd pair fell apart completely within 2 months. Will not buy again. A refund is fair considering I've bought 3 pairs. Today in below zero snow conditions, a 3hr walk from the boat, the shoe came apart completely in one step with the entire bottom ripping right off. My husband fishes in very remote places and it's a good thing g he's always prepared or he would have had to walk hours in the snow in freezing temp in his socks.He does say the fit is good and that they are comfortable. It's really a shame that they literally fall apart so easily otherwise they would be a good value. It's not good value if you pay less for something to have to throw it in the garbage only 8 weeks later.Definitely should bot be described as durable.I did try to connect with the seller but every time I hit send it failed and said we're experiencing an issue please try later. I gave up after half a dozen attempts and im here posting this review instead.

Had a problem with they replaced it no hassles at all…good costumer service
I had these boots for eight months without any problems. Then I noticed the boot started to separate from the soul, I took some pictures and sent them to 8 fan and they replace them without any problems. Good customer service
