What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I reach for these when my fishing days involve serious mileage before I ever touch the water. They feel closer to a true hiking boot than most wading options, with excellent ankle support and a stable platform on uneven approaches. Once in the river, the Vibram Megagrip outsole inspires confidence on slick rock, especially in mixed wet and dry conditions." When access means steep trails, rocky canyons, or long coastal approaches, we want a wading boot that doesn’t feel like a liability before the first cast. The x Danner River Salt Wading Boot bridges the gap between hiking boot support and river-ready performance, letting us move confidently from trailhead to waterline. Built in collaboration with Danner, this boot features a waterproof full-grain leather upper that stands up to saltwater, abrasion, and repeated use. Perforated drainage ports shed water quickly, while the dual-density midsole balances underfoot stability with long-haul comfort. Finished with a Vibram Megagrip outsole, the River Salt excels on wet stone, algae-covered rock, and dry trail alike—making it a reliable choice for anglers who earn their spots.
