I own a pair of Orvis Ultralight boots and they’re great for spending a full day hiking and wading a river. They’re lighter and I’ve walked 15km in a day in them. Much easier on me than regular wading boots. They do get wet though and designed to fit over a neoprene bootie on waders. So your foot stays dry, they do not. They take a couple days to dry completely.
If I am planning a river trip and spending all day in a raft or canoe, I’ll just wear a pair of Merrell barefoot shoes for that portion of my day. They can get wet and will dry completely by a campfire overnight. One pair has lasted me about 7 years now. Hope this helps
