Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a hip or chest wader having advantageous features with respect to comprising an attached EVA boot.
- Waders are a critical piece of equipment for anglers or hunters who spend lots of time either fishing or hunting in cold rivers, fishing or hunting in colder weather or wading in shallow lakes or ponds that have colder water. The waders keep the angler dry and also keep the angler warm.
- Waders are made of many different materials such as neoprene, breathable fabric (such as Gore-Tex), coated nylon, rubber, canvas, or a combination of these materials. Waders are available in different thicknesses, and different styles such as hip-high, waist-high and chest-high. Waders may also be stocking foot waders comprising a neoprene sock attached to the bottom of the waders or may be boot-foot waders comprising a rubber boot attached to the bottom of the waders. Stocking foot waders require the user to also wear a separate pair of wading boots. Conventional boot-foot waders comprise boots made of rubber that are attached directly to the bottom of the waders.
- Wading boots comprise various materials on the bottom outsole of the boot, depending on the characteristics of the locale where the user is fishing or hunting. For instance, felt outsoles are generally worn for stream fishing to enable the wearer to have a better grip on slippery rock. Rubber clear or lug outsoies are generally worn in sand and mud. A more recent alternative is a sticky rubber outsole that provides good grip like felt outsoies, but which are not as affected by ice. In order for a user to fish or hunt in all available environments, the user must have a different pair of boots or boot-foot waders for each type of terrain.
- a first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a hip, waist or chest height waterproof fabric wader having an attached boot made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
- EVA is an alternative to rubber and is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate.
- the polymer has the softness and flexibility of elastomeric materials, yet can be processed like other thermoplastics.
- EVA has good water barrier properties, stress-crack resistance and durability.
- EVA is also lighter weight and more flexible for the wearer than rubber and is a more economical material for manufacturing products than rubber.
- the boot is preferably formed by injection molding as a unitary piece and is then attached to the bottom of the legs of the fabric wader, preferably by bonding.
- a second embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wader boot having an interchangeable outsole such that the boot may comprise a felt outsole, a rubber cleat outsole, a sticky rubber outsole and the like.
- the outsole inserts comprise a hook or loop backing that is matable with the opposite hook or loop mechanism located in a shallow cavity formed on the bottom surface of the boot.

- FIG. 2 depicts a side view of a boot that is attached to a wader of a first embodiment of the present disclosure

- the present disclosure provides a boot-foot wader, wherein the boot is made of
- FIG. 1 a pair of waders 10 having front portion 12, rear portion 14, and two leg portions 16a, 16b made from part of said front portion and said rear portion.
- Waders 10 may optionally have a bib portion 18 as conventional chest-height waders have.
- waders 10 may be other standard wader heights, such as waist-height or hip-height with the wader material terminating at the appropriate point.
- Waders 10 are of conventional construction that is known in the art and will not be discussed in detail herein.
- waders 10 may additionally comprise various straps, suspenders, fastening belts, buckles, pockets, D-rings, insulation, padded knees, chafe guards and the like for adjusting waders to fit the user, for comfort, and for added functionality.
- the fabric portion of waders 10 is preferably made of waterproof material known in the art such as rubber, PVC, urethane coated nylon (laminated nylon), neoprene or coated canvas or a combination of such materials.
- each leg portion 16a, 16b has a boot 18a, 18b secured at the bottom of the leg portions 16a, 16b, respectively.
- the wading boots 18a, 18b are an integral part of the wader 10.
- each boot 18a, 18b is of generally conventional boot construction and has bottom surface 20, side surfaces 22, 24, top surface 26 and shaft section 28.
- Shaft 28 extends partway up the leg of the user and preferably extends approximately to the user's mid-calf area.
- Shaft section 28 has an upper periphery edge 30 that extends around the periphery of the boot opening where a user's foot would be inserted.
- Boot 18a, 18b is preferably a unitary molded piece of material.
- the shaft section 28 is narrower around the ankle area (as shown in FIG. 5) to assist in securing the boot to the user. It is also within the scope of the present invention for boot 18a, 18b to not have a shaft section such that it resembles more of a shoe or clog (not shown) rather than a boot. Such shoe has an upper periphery edge similar to that of boot and is attached to wader legs 16a, 16b in a similar manner.
- [002Oj Bool 18a, J 8b is made by ao injection molding process usi ⁇ g EVA. Conventional injection molding methods known in the industry are used to form the boot.
- Boot 38a. 18b is preferably molded to generally fit a human foot and has an arch portion 32, a heel portion 34, and front foot portion 36. It is within the scope of the present invention for the bottom surface of the boot 20 to have a rubber outsole (not shown) attached to assist in providing additional traction. Rubber outsole may be attached by bonding. Materials other than rubber may be used for such an outsole, including but not limited to felt or sticky rubber.
- boot 18a, 18b may have an optional insole of foam or other padding insert (not shown) for comfort and fit, as well as an additional insulated insert for warmth.
- Such optional inserts may be attached to the interior of boot 38 with adhesive or may merely be placed in the interior of boot 38 on the insole area or interior wall area.
- upper periphery edge 30 of boot is attached to the lower edge of wader leg 16a, 16b by thermal or adhesive bonding.
- the thermal or adhesive bonding is performed in the conventional manner known for the materials used.
- upper periphery edge 30 of boot is overlapped onto bottom edge of legs 16a, 16b for a secure bond.
- attachments means other than bonding to secure wader legs 16a, 16b to boot 18a, 18b.
- Such other means include sewing and fabric tape reinforcement either in addition to or in lieu of bonding, as well as other methods known in the art.
