When it comes to wading boots, details matter. Every fabric, layer, stitch, and component has to lock together in a harmony of thoughtful design and the Skwala RS Wading Boot is meticulous from the ground up.
At the heart of the RS Boot is an exclusive tri-tiered, stair-step lug pattern developed with Vibram®, built from their patented IDROGRIP™ material for enhanced wet traction. Underfoot support comes from a Figure-8 ESS rock plate, a high-density EVA midsole, and a removable Ortholite® insole because comfort and protection shouldn’t be optional when you’re fishing hard.
Up top, bonded seams, double lasting construction, and TPU reinforced uppers create a boot that’s abrasion resistant, flexible, and nearly indestructible. A molded toecap protects your feet from rocks and obstacles, while non-absorbent foam interior cuffs support your lower legs without carrying water. The result is a serious wading boot for anglers who demand traction, comfort, and durability in every step.
