Patagonia Foot Tractor Wading Boots - Sticky Rubber

The Best Boots ever Built.

Patagonia set out to create the best wading boot out there and with the help of Danner they did it. After collaborating with their extensive network of ambassadors, anglers and professional guides, Patagonia defined the best that a boot could be, then created it.

These boots are constructed of flexible, waterproof, full-grain leather which provides foot-conforming comfort, support and protection. Stitch-down construction creates a wide, stable base and the adjustable lacing system has traditional eyelets across the forefoot and speed lacing through the ankle; the speed lacing provides easy tightening, supports the ankle when wading on uneven surfaces and helps lock the heel in place. The sticky rubber Vibram Idrogrip, which compresses into the natural nooks and crannies of submerged rock for serious grip.

Danner in the USA has been making exemplary boots for years. They provide boots to the armed services, search and rescue and have made hunting and hiking boots since 1932. Because of this collaborative effort with Danner, Patagonia can offer re-soling of these boots extending their already impressive lifespan.

Features

• Durable, waterproof, full-grain leather with a PFC-free tanning process for improved resistance to breakdown, even in saltwater; leather can be reconditioned.
• Tough 1,000-denier nylon panelling provides excellent abrasion resistance.
• The lacing system has eyelets across forefoot and speed lacing through the ankle; top single hook for easy on/off; hardware is nylon coated for corrosion resistance.
• Perforated drains on both sides of boot upper clear water quickly; for faster dry times, upper-design is free from unnecessary foams and backers.
• Stitch-down construction creates a wider platform for more stability, helps protect the boot sidewall and allows the boots to be resoled by Danner.
• The moulded bi-fit board combines the shank, lasting board and midsole into a single piece that reduces weight without sacrificing comfort and support.
• Vibram Idrogrip sole developed for maximum grip on wet surfaces and all-around traction for long approaches and mixed streambed footing; sole accepts studs.
• Claimed weight: 1950 g.

Materials

• Upper: full-grain leather with 1000-denier 100% nylon panelling.

Based on numerous in-store fittings here at Tom's Outdoors, we have found that 80% of anglers require the standard one size up (from US Size) for Foot Tractor Wading Boots and especially River Salt Wading Boots. If you are a half size then you should size up to the next full size.

However, Patagonia suggests choosing your regular street shoe size for an optimal fit, as Danner has "sized the boots to accommodate a neoprene bootie/ wading sock". Find your regular shoe size in the right-hand columns and corresponding Patagonia Wading Boot Size in the first column.

Rest assured that we will work with you to get the right fit! All wading boots are eligible for free shipping and free return post for exchanges/refunds. When your wading boots arrive, we advise trying them on in the house with both waders and wading socks for at least 20 minutes to properly assess the fit.

Please don't hesitate contact a Tom's Outdoors staff member if you have any further questions.
