Overview

The Patagonia River Salt Wading Boots II are the heavy-duty boot in Patagonia's lineup, built with Danner for anglers who are hard on gear: big freestone rivers, surf zones, tidal flats and boat decks. The full-grain leather and synthetic upper stands up to saltwater, sun and constant flexing, and a molded midsole and reinforced rand keep their shape season after season.

The high-cut design supports your ankles on uneven bottoms, and the non-marking Vibram® sole grips wet rock, sand and decks. It takes traction studs when the rocks get slick. Drain ports empty water fast and the corrosion-resistant hardware works in fresh or salt water.

Choosing a boot: Pick the River Salt II for support and durability. If you want a lighter, faster-drying boot for long hikes, see the Patagonia Forra Wading Boots. 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.
