Description
Lighter weight for wet wading, flats fishing and long approaches, the Patagonia River Salt Feather Grey Wading Boots offer excellent performance and durability in both fresh and salt water; with Vibram Megagrip soles for secure traction across a wide range of surfaces. Co-developed with Danner and handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, USA.
As Patagonia worked with the legendary boot builders at Danner to create their new Foot Tractor Wading Boots, Patagonia applied the same innovation, craftsmanship and quality to a lighter-weight cousin. Sharing many of the same performance attributes as the Foot Tractors but geared toward wet wading, flats fishing and the backcountry, the new River Salt Feather Grey Wading Boots are built for the long haul – whether it is the steep scramble to alpine-lake nirvana, wet wading in summer streams or stalking tailing bones across flats that stretch to the horizon.
The uppers combine waterproof, full-grain leather with tough-yet-light 1,000-denier nylon panels, providing the protection you need from river rock and coral heads; adjustable speed lacing provides a customized fit across the forefoot and through the ankle for support on uneven surfaces. On the interior, a moulded bi-fit board combines the shank, midsole and lasting board into a single piece that reduces weight without sacrificing comfort or durability.
Securing the uppers to the soles, handcrafted, stitch-down construction creates a wide, stable platform and allows the boots to be easily resoled for lifetime performance that is measured in decades. The Vibram Megagrip sole compound was specifically developed for traction on both wet and dry surfaces, stands up to miles of dirt-road walk-ins and sharp coral flats, and works just as well for everyday fishing at the home pool; the soles also accept studs for additional traction. Made by hand in Portland, Oregon, the Patagonia River Salt Feather Grey Wading Boots are the best wading boots Patagonia has ever made – and they believe they are the last ones you will ever need to buy.
