Only recently stepping into the world of angling footwear – yes, pun intended – Fox has brought several dedicated items to the market.
We have chosen to focus on the two within the Explorer range. To produce durable, comfortable and hard-wearing boots, Vibram soles have been included as standard, as well as 3M Thinsulate insulation. They are available from size 7 to 12 and offer a snug, comfortable fit.
After taking up carp fishing around a year ago, I was quick to notice everyone in the office had waders. It was only going out on several features and being out on the bank with some of the TC team that I realised what a valuable piece of kit they truly were. I was fortunate enough when this pair of waders made its way in to the office and I was quick to stake my claim to see just how beneficial they really would be.
I have used these around a dozen times now when I have been out on the bank, and I have been nothing but impressed.
