About this deal

Like most of the Fortis range of carp gear though, they aren’t the cheapest. So we expect that you’ll be paying a small premium to have the Fortis Badge. HEAT PRESERVATION – How do you keep your feet warm in the winter? Well firstly your feet have to be warm before you put them in the boots. Same applies for sleeping bags, they use the body’s warmth to keep you warm! They do not generate heat. You put cold feet in cold boots, you are going to be miserable all day. Now you might be mistaken to think that they are just an average pair of wellies when you look at the photos, but you’d be wrong. By some miracle though, your feet still breathe in the summer, so they don’t get too hot! Bloody brilliant!

Fortis have been making waves in the carp fishing clothing game for a couple of years now. Therefore it was no surprise to see them venture into the world of carp fishing footwear in 2021. We’ve had a look at the boots themselves in depth, so let’s discuss what you should look for in your carp fishing footwear. WarmthSUPER LIGHTWEIGHT – Understatement of the year they are on average 70% lighter than a normal welly boot! That’s ridiculously light! It makes walking round the lakes and up and down the rivers an absolute doddle, no more tired feet or legs. Massive bonus for those that have to walk through mud and puddles or even long grass. Speero have paid special attention to the soles on these boots, which as you can see provide ample grip. – Great for walking up and down slippery banks or uneven ground. Nothing ruins a fishing trip quite like being wet and cold, especially when it’s your feet! Of course, you might have your bivvy to shelter under but we all know you will dart out in the rain if those alarms go off and there’s a chance you might land a catch! Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee the weather, especially in the UK, but we can help you stay fresh and dry on your trip, whether you’re away for a week or just the afternoon with our selection of fishing shoes and boots!

These are highly comfortable, completely waterproof insulated boots which offers unrivalled warmth and protection in the colder months. With a 5 layer removable liner, these have been tested to keep your feet warm down to -60’F (-51’C). (Bit nippy eh?) What you will find with boots is the more rubber they are, the less breathable they will be. That’s why our feet sweat so much in wellies. And this is definitely the case for some of the boots on this guide, including the Fortis Elements, Navitas Lite and the Vass Boots. You can put your money on them lasting a fair while too! With the outsole featuring an aggressive tread that is bound to last a long time. So, what Navitas have done is to use materials and insulation that virtually cuts out heat loss in cold weather. Result = warmer feet in the winter.ROT RESISTANT – ever had a pair of boots or waders start leaking? I guarantee it’s not a cut or a tear, in fact it is likely to be because the seam or the sealant had rotted away. So, what did we do about it? Well we can’t give away the technology or material, but the Navitas Lite Insulated boots are resistant against sea water, oil, acid and alkali. In a nutshell, they are not going to leak anytime soon! Personally, I like to change mine every 3-4 hours on a winter session to keep my feet dry. It makes a massive difference to the temperature of your feet. Move your toes frequently

Particularly for the winter months, you’ll need a pair of fishing boots that keep your feet warm. There’s nothing worse than a day on the lake with your toes freezing. Typically, the warmer your boots, the heavier they tend to be. Again, another reason why many opt for the Vass boots as their go-to footwear. If you’re more of a bivvy bound carper, definitely consider some of the other options though as they make it up in warmth and overall comfort. Breathability Super-lightweight! Average weight is less than 350g each. Compare this to the usual 1,250g welly boot.

It’s feeling decidedly winterish out there folks! However, if something like a bit of a cold snap is not going to put you off as a die hard fishing fan, then we know that you will at least want to be sure that you are adequately equipped to be comfortable whilst out there doing what you love! We are here changing the game at Navitas in the form of our fashionable, yet entirely practical ranges of fishing clothing and footwear. Whether you are looking for cosy hoodies through to water-proof insulated wellington boots, we have it covered! Constructed from premium high-grade rubber to seal out moisture, you can expect to remain comfortable in the Fortis Boots all year round. As you can see from the photos, you have a fair bit of height in the Skee-Tex boots, so you’ve got plenty of ankle support and warmth to keep you as comfortable as possible. They are a little more cumbersome to get on vs’ the Vass boots, so don’t expect to be dashing out of your sleeping bag and putting these on before bending into a fish. (keep your crocs for that 😉)
