Overview

The Patagonia Forra Wading Boots are a light, fast-draining boot for anglers who walk a lot to fish. The upper is abrasion-resistant Cordura® nylon mesh with no extra foam or backing to soak up water, so they dry fast and don't feel heavy on the hike out. Underneath, a Vibram® Mars rubber sole with HexaBase lugs gives a big contact patch on wet rock and dry trail alike. This colorway is Forge Grey with Basin Green.

A high collar and reinforced toe cap protect your ankles and toes in technical wading, and the webbing lacing system uses noncorrosive hardware that stays secure in the current. For slick freestone rivers, add the Forra Grip Studs Traction Kit, made for this sole.

Choosing a boot: Pick the Forra for light weight and long approaches. For heavier support on big rivers, surf and flats, look at the River Salt Wading Boots II. Wading boots go on over your wader's neoprene booties, so size with that in mind and call our shop if you're between sizes.
