I received a pair of these for Christmas. They were for walking in snow or on ice but I think they will work if placed over wading boots. I am not recommending these because I have not used them. I do understand that they come in several weights of wire and strength, i.e. 'Pro' and 'XTR' . Take a look and maybe it's something to consider. Maybe someone here has experience with these?
