These boots have a cosmetic factory blemish on the exterior. These boots are all new, and have never been worn. Each pair of boots is different. The photos shown are examples of what type of blemishes are present. We have inspected all of these boots, and none of the blemishes are more significant than the normal wear and tear that one would inflict on a single day of normal use. All sales are final.
The new Patagonia River Salt has a Vibram “Megagrip” sole designed for maximum grip on both wet and dry surfaces. The Vibram soles offer the very best in durability. The Megagrip on the River Salt is fine in flats boats and great on the trail when you need to cover to ground before you fish. Studs can be inserted into the River Salt as needed.
The River Salt uses full grain leather treated with a PFC-saline solution tanning process for durability even in saltwater. Unlike synthetic boots the full grain leather can form to your foot for a fit like no other wading boot. The Foot Tractor is constructed with durable 1,000 denier panels on its upper. Speed laces allow you to crank down the upper and provide super ankle support for a hiking boot like fit. The boots have medial and lateral perforations for drainage, a system tested and proven on Danner combat boots which they build for the US military. The laces guides are not metal so you won’t get the rusty look on your flats boots.
The River Salt features an innovative bi-fit board midsole that combines the shank, lasting board and midsole into a single piece, significantly reducing weight without sacrificing support and protection on rough and uneven surfaces.
“Stictchdown” construction creates a wider stable platform and if you were to ever need to re-sole the boots it allows for easy recrafting at Danner
