River Salt Wading Boots Patagonia

Technical Specs & Wading Boot Anatomy

• Premium Full-Grain Leather: Crafted with highly durable, waterproof full-grain leather engineered to resist severe wear and tear, even in harsh saltwater conditions. The leather can be conditioned over time, and the tanning process is executed responsibly with no intentionally added PFAS.

• 1000D Nylon Matrix Shell: Outfitted with heavy-duty 1000-denier nylon textile panels that provide excellent, military-grade abrasion resistance along the chassis.

• Vibram® Megagrip Compound Sole: The specialized outer sole utilizes a Vibram® Megagrip rubber compound meticulously designed to deliver unrivaled bite on slick, wet, and dry surfaces while maintaining long-term structural durability. The sole configuration is fully stud-compatible.

• Stitchdown Re-craftable Construction: Engineered with a traditional stitchdown construction method that creates a wider, incredibly stable platform underfoot. This layout protects the lower boot sides and allows the boots to be completely recrafted and resoled by Danner®.

• Bi-Fit Molded Insole Board: Features an innovative Bi-Fit molded insole board that seamlessly combines the shank, midsole, and footbed into a single technical component. This successfully minimizes overall weight without sacrificing anatomical comfort or arch support.

• Anti-Corrosive Speed Lacing System: The secure adjustable lacing system is configured with precise forefoot eyelets and secure ankle wrapping. A specialized top speed-hook ensures effortless on/off operations, paired with nylon-coated hardware that is entirely rustproof and corrosion-resistant.

• Elite Manufacturing Origin: Proudly manufactured in Portland, Oregon, using imported parts to guarantee world-class manufacturing standards and streamside dependability.
