Questions about the NRS Workboot Wetshoes
How do I choose a size?
Order by US men's size. Half sizes should order one size larger, and women should order one size smaller than their women's size.
Is the Workboot good for swiftwater rescue?
It is built for river professionals and rescue agencies, with a lugged sole for traction, 5 mm neoprene for warmth and ankle support, and laces plus an ankle strap for a secure fit.
Does the Workboot mark floors or boat decks?
No. The spec sheet lists the sole as non-marking.
Can I wear fins with the Workboot?
Yes. A swim fin tab on the heel helps keep a fin strap in place.
Is the NRS Workboot Wetshoes flame resistant?
No. It is water rescue and paddling gear. It is not flame resistant, is not structural firefighting PPE and is not NFPA 1971 certified, so keep it away from fire and high heat.
