WHAT IS IT?
Chene Gear Scout Boot
WHAT SETS IT APART?
Chene Gear was born out of a passion to build a better waterfowl wader, that absolutely will not leak, while holding up to years of use (and abuse). The Memphis, Tenn., brand succeeded with its 2S Wader. Built around that success is a premium line of waterfowl apparel with favorable crossover applications for anglers.
A prime example is the Chene Scout, built with premium, natural rubber over insulating neoprene for durability, flexibility and complete waterproof protection.
What also sets it apart is a removable polyurethane innersole, popularly known as a PU sole, made from organic material that has a lower density, along with a soft texture and high elasticity for extreme foot comfort.
HOW DO I USE IT?
The Scout Boot features soft and comfortable neoprene throughout overlayed with rubber, just like its waders. The quick drying and moisture wicking neoprene liner keeps feet dry and comfortable, with a secure fit to keep feet in place. The boot measures 6.5 inches on each side at the top, and 6 inches in between, providing ample ankle coverage. At each end of the top are pull straps for sure fit, and the heels are reinforced in a key wear area, and feature a kickoff for easy removal.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
The Scout Boot is available in 10 colors, including Mossy Oak camo patterns and more neutral colors for fishing, or any other time full waterproof protection is desired in an ankle boot.
The boots are surprisingly lightweight, a big plus for all day wear, and the soft removable inner lining adds a very noticeable level of foot comfort in a boot usually much more rigid in fit.
Add it all up and you get an ankle boot that combines comfort, style and functionality, all prerequisites for any Chene Gear. Being from the South, I’m a waterfowl hunter and bass fisherman, and the Scout Boot (along with other crossover Chene Gear), is a welcome new addition to my gear lineup. If she could speak, Low Country Jenny, my Boykin Spaniel and duck partner, would approve.
