Orvis Pro Approach Hiker

The ultimate wet-wading boot made to go the distance, our popular Pro Approach Shoe has morphed into a trail inspired mid-height Pro Approach Hiker. Incorporating liners with the generous ankle support needed to cover miles of ground quickly and safely, they’re built with an Intuition based foam footbed that moulds around your foot for a custom fit unlike any other wet-wading shoe ever designed. 

Featuring the same exclusive Michelin out-sole as our Pro Wading boots, the Approach Hiker delivers superior wet and dry traction on slick rocks and gravel. The built-in, zippered gravel guard, with hook-and-loop closures and lace-up interior, gives you the best fit possible, and makes a separate set of wading socks unnecessary unless you’re battling cool water temperatures. An EVA mid-sole with soft liner protects against hot spots. PU cast exterior with a scratch rubber toe for next-level abrasion resistance. The easy-grab heel loops, on-lace cover and liner-heel help you suit up and get to the water quickly. 

The saltwater model extends your range into the brine with a made for purpose hiker, specifically designed for the rigours of the marine environment. The Pro Approach Hiker for salt water offers the generous ankle support required to explore endless flats, jetties, and mangrove muck, quickly and safely. 

They are also built with Intuition based foam footbed that moulds around your foot for a custom fit unlike any other wet-wading shoe ever designed. Featuring the same exclusive Michelin out-sole as our Pro Wading boots, these saltwater hikers feature superior wet and dry traction in the boat, on rocks and on notoriously slick docks. A massive bonus is that the teal out-sole won’t scuff and mark up boat decks. 

Built with the same closure and comfort systems as the freshwater model, the Approach Hiker for salt has you covered in a system that keeps you protected and fresh for the fight.
