Patagonia Foot Tractor Aluminium Bar Wading Boots

Introducing the Patagonia Foot Tractor Aluminium Bar Wading Boots, a supportive, lightweight boot option that will ensure maximum comfort even after hours of trekking on the river. The incredibly grippy sole on these boots prevents slipping regardless of under foot conditions ensuring you can take each step with confidence.

The Patagonia Foot Tractor Aluminium Bar Wading Boots feature premium full-grain leather construction, setting them apart in terms of durability and performance. This high-quality leather not only offers exceptional resistance to wear and tear but also provides superior waterproofing capabilities, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable. Furthermore, the full-grain leather used in these boots boasts improved resistance to breakdown, particularly in saltwater environments, making them a reliable choice for anglers who frequently venture into marine environments.

Additionally, the leather used in these boots can be easily reconditioned, prolonging their lifespan and maintaining their pristine appearance over time. Notably, the tanning process used for the leather does not involve perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs/PFAS), aligning with Patagonia's commitment to environmental sustainability and ensuring peace of mind for environmentally conscious anglers.

These boots feature tough 1,000-denier nylon panelling strategically placed to provide exceptional abrasion resistance, ensuring they can handle rough conditions without compromising performance. Whether you're navigating rocky riverbeds, trudging through thick under brush, or wading in shallow waters, the robust nylon panelling of these boots offers reliable protection against wear and tear, extending their lifespan and maintaining their integrity over time.

The innovative lacing system features eyelets across the forefoot and speed lacing through the ankle, allowing anglers to adjust the tightness of the boots to their preference for a secure and comfortable fit. Additionally, a single top hook facilitates easy on and off, saving time and effort when gearing up for a day. Furthermore, the nylon-coated hardware used in the lacing system ensures corrosion resistance, prolonging the lifespan of the boots and maintaining their functionality over time.

Featuring perforated drains on both sides of the upper boot, these boots efficiently clear water, allowing anglers to move freely without being weighed down by excess moisture. Additionally, the upper design is meticulously crafted to be free from unnecessary foams and backers, promoting faster drying times after each use. Whether you're wading through streams, crossing shallow rivers, or fishing in rainy weather, the quick drain and quick dry capabilities of these boots ensure that your feet stay dry and comfortable throughout your fishing adventures.

The Patagonia Foot Tractor Wading Boots are meticulously crafted using stitchdown construction, a technique renowned for its durability, stability, and versatility. This construction method creates a wider platform for enhanced stability, allowing anglers to confidently navigate uneven terrain and rocky riverbeds without compromising comfort or performance. Moreover, stitchdown construction provides added protection to the boots' sidewalls, shielding them from abrasions and impacts encountered during fishing expeditions.

One of the standout features of this boot is the moulded bi-fit board, which revolutionises traditional boot construction by combining the shank, lasting board, and midsole into a single piece. This innovative design not only reduces weight, enhancing agility and mobility for anglers navigating challenging terrain, but also maintains optimal comfort and support throughout extended wear. By integrating multiple components into a cohesive unit, the molded bi-fit board minimises bulkiness and ensures a streamlined fit, allowing anglers to focus on their fishing pursuits without distraction.

Featuring a Vibram Idrogrip sole specifically developed for maximum grip on wet surfaces, these boots ensure that anglers can confidently navigate slippery riverbeds and rocky terrain without the fear of slipping or losing their footing. The innovative design of the Vibram Idrogrip sole is meticulously engineered to strike the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility. These aluminium bars are tough enough to cut through slime and debris, providing superior traction in challenging conditions, while also being soft enough to conform to rock surfaces, ensuring optimal grip and stability on uneven terrain.
