“I was a little skeptical when I purchased the Riverwalker – Sticky wading boots with a rubber sole. I was convinced I made the right decision when took my first step in the ice cold water of the Skykomish River. I fished all day and never slipped. I was steelhead fishing so it wasn’t easy wading…can you say big boulders? Other benefits of the rubber sole: 1. It drastically reduces the transmission of diseases between bodies of water. 2. Snow does not stick to bottom of the boots. Did I mention there was three fee of snow in the parking lot? Walking in the snow all day was a piece of cake. 3. The boots don’t hold water like felt boots which reduces the amount of water in the bottom of your drift boat or the foor mats of your car. 4. The boots are easier to clean and they dry faster. 5. If you walk into you local convenience store on the way to or from the river, you won’t leave a trail of wet, muddy foot prints all over the store.

I can only think of one thing to change on the boots…..Patagonia is inprinted on the bottom of the boot. No one looks at the bottom of their boot, but everyone look for boot prints on they way to their favorite run. Reverse the printing on the bottom of the boot so everyone assocites the rubber star tred with Patagonia.”
