MISS MAYFLY WADING BOOT FAQ
What is a wading boot?
- A wading boot provides foot stability and protection in slippery waters. It is designed to be worn with waders that have a waterproof neoprene bootie or with wading socks. Made of durable, water-resistant materials, they allow water to drain quickly, keeping your feet dry inside the neoprene bootie or wading sock.
How are Miss Mayfly boots sized?
We have already worked in the room needed for socks and booties. Order your true Women’s US shoe size. Only size up to the next size if:
- You sometimes wear a half size
- Your big toe is not your longest toe.
- Your foot is extra-wide width and has had trouble fitting in other wading boots.
Do wading boots come in half sizes?
- Wading boots are usually made in whole sizes only. The fit can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the socks worn, and the boots compress underwater, removing small empty spaces.
How should a wading boot fit?
- A wading boot should fit firmly with minimal movement inside. If a wading boot is too loose, it may cause a loss of balance which will increase the chances of falling. If the foot is sliding forward & back, side to side or up and down at the heel- it's too loose, it can cause instability and damage to the neoprene bootie. It is preferred for your toes to reach the tip of boot. If the toes are bent or pinched, the boot is too small. It is normal to feel pressure throughout the foot. They will loosen when worn in water.
How long does it take to break in new wading boots?
- Wading boots break in quickly once submerged in water. They should feel tight initially but will become comfortable during the first use. If purchased comfortable when new, they may become too loose after breaking in.
Why should I wear socks with neoprene booties?
- Insulated socks are recommended to regulate temperature and fill any empty spaces inside the neoprene bootie. They help keep feet dry and warm by wicking moisture away from the skin.
What is the best method to lace boots?
- Stability: The most important point for boot stability is the angle from the heel to the top of the ankle bend- as shown in the following illustration: Pay extra attention to tighten your laces at this key point to ensure that the boot provides its full extent of stability. This will also pull your heel back into the heel cradle and prevent pressure on the toes.
- Motion: Casually but firmly lace up the ankle. Do not choke the ankle by overtightening because this will restrict blood flow, reduce ligament, and muscle movement. This is where we need movement and is not where we receive stability.
- Securing Loops: Double down your loop ends after tying. Take the two bow loops and pull them back over the shoelace hooks (on top of the previously hooked lace), pull the two tag ends tight and tuck them into neck of boot. This will prevent your laces from loosening throughout the day. Sure!
Common Mistakes:
- Wearing boots that are too big.
- Sizing up to make room for neoprene booties (most brands account for this in their sizing).
Do tight boots cut off circulation?
- Tight boots can reduce circulation if ankle laces are over-tightened, especially for women with larger calves. Proper fitting boots are essential for comfort and safety.
Do women have weaker ankles?
- Women’s ligaments are more lax due to hormones, making them more prone to sprains. Proper fitting boots provide the necessary support and stability.
What is the Miss Mayfly® Difference?
- Miss Mayfly® Moxie Wading Boots are specifically designed for women’s feet, addressing issues like cramping and swelling due to hormone cycles, age, or health conditions.

What our fellow anglers are saying...
★★★★★I was so excited to have my Miss Mayfly wading pants delivered today! THEY FIT!!!I wear a size 10 - 11 in shoes, and I had plenty of space for my toes in the footie sock. I can sit in them and still breathe. The crotch doesn't hand down to my knees like I've had happen with other brands. They fit around my 19+" calves. I am over the moon thrilled about having gear that truly fits. The size chart is pretty on point with measurements and the spacing you will have.Thank you Miss Mayfly for making something for ALL the ladies!! I cannot wait to get out in the river and test these pants out!

Dominique BrownFacebook Review
★★★★★I LOVE my Miss Mayfly waders! They are very comfortable and the fit is perfect! I’m a petite woman, and finding something my size was a difficult. No more struggling with too-large booties that cramp my feet in my boots, no more boxy men’s waders with straps that touch the floor, no more searching for the perfect pair or waders, I have found them!
Jaclyn FitzgeraldFacebook Review
★★★★★I am ecstatic! Finally chest waders that fit ME! Miss Mayfly's are designed by women for womenl. They thoroughly understand that some women have hips and thighs. Up to this point, us women have had to buy men's waders that are WAY too long in the legs and feet. These waders are so comfortable and roomy enough that I can put layers on for winter fishing and not feel like a stuffed sausage! Thank you Miss Mayfly for recognizing this frustration and for creating these! Can't wait to get them wet! Thank you also for shipping my replacement pair that fit perfectly in time for me to take them on our fishing excursion. Miss Mayfly, you've been fabulous to work with!! Can't sing your praises loud enough!!!
