Are they water tight? I need a water tight boot when I'm standing in 1 to 4" of water at the edge of our pond.

These boots are not watertight as they are meant to be worn with waders which keep your feet dry. In fact, one of their features is that they "drain well".

This are wading boots that fisherman wear over lite weight waders. Water can come over the top, through the fabric and through the drain holes in the side of each boot.

The Redington Skagit is not water tight. It is meant as a fly fishing wading boot that is used in conjunction with waterproof waders. They are a very good boot that gives good footing in rocky or muddy water but are not meant to be water tight.

Don't bother buying those boots! I've had two pairs of them and the soles fell off after wearing them for a while. I sent the first pair back and they sent me a new pair but the same thing happened. I glued them myself and the are holding up for now.

NOT a waterproof boots,this are for use with neoprine waders ,that is boot that takes water in ,use to submerse and for better traction

No they are designed to be used over stocking foot waders. Unfortunately they aren't waterproof.

No they are not water tight. You want to get yourself some Muck boots for that my friend.

I have four of them and they are pretty darn tight. Don't know if you left them fully submerged for an extended period of time they wouldn't leak but brand new I'm sure it could take a dunk or two with any problem.

Not sure what you're asking, they are water shoes so your feet do get wet; however they do protect them and provide comfort with find on.

Sorry ... a little late. I guess that would depend on the size of the leg. For my case, there was no problems. It was tight, but not too tight to cause any pain, but tight enough to keep the water out.

Your feet definitely get wet, they have grip on the bottom to prevent slip & falls only. Not waterproof

There isn't rubber so its not air tight but they close just fine, if you submerged them under water I believe the water would get in after a good amount of time though.

These are great boots, I use them with my open hill fins, when you get out of the water these will hold water inside, this means that the top cloth is sealed (not like the mesh type beach sand) so sand won't enter inside the boot but if the water is sandy? I love these boots, they are great and very comfortable, I haven't seen any signs of damage.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

I use them on a water fall and fish pond fountain just dont let them freeze in the winter

I don't windsurf, but I see no reason why these boots would not work for that. They are like an aqua-sock with a rubber sole. I love mine and use them at the beach and on my boat.

I believe they are only a 3mm bootie. Since I live in Hawaii - I don't need them for warmth, just for a great fit (tight enough to keep water from filling up the boot with a thin wetsuit. I lived most of my life in So. Cal and used this same thickness bootie for diving and boogie boarding. But for No. Calif - I would get a 5mm boot.

Yes, but only if the water level doesn't rise about the top of the sock. I used these when snorkeling, so they were fully submerged as soon as I got in the water.

these are well made, and have a O-ring to keep out rain and weather moisture, but I would not recommend them for underwater, submerged use. good luck

Hi Peter, I think you should get these in size 11, they will feel a little snug, however, once you get in the water they will stretch a little and give you a perfect fit. If you buy them at just the right fit or bigger then they tend to fall off your feet once you get in the water.

Hard to say...I think just little bit. I walked in the rain and i had water in my boots :-(

Not really sure.I would think that sand would get in them and be uncomfortable but they do sloe pretty tight. They hold water i know that and your feet do get a little water logged i assume the same with sand minus the water log.

Yes IMHO. But, the outer boot has to be big enough to accommodate the thickness of the wader foot. And a protective sock, which should be worn to protect the wader foot from tearing. These waders are worn with a waterproof wader shoe when fishing & walking in water.
