Watch out, here’s to drive you insane until Febrauary 19, the next Patagonia Wading boots! O fcourse everyone knows how serious Patagonia is with dedicated gear, especially with fly fishing and certainly more than anything with wading boots. Everytime you buy Patagonia gear, you don’t just buy gear, you buy premium gear that has been feild tested for months, that is probably the best you can get. But most of all you buy a waranty. And maybe Customer’s Service has been invented by Patagonia! So here they are the two brand new wading shoes coming out in February, if you were planning on buying new ones I suggest you wait.

But more than just two pairs of wading boots coming out next winter, it is the bands Patagonia joined in to produce the best sawn wading boots you can ever find. Danner! Yes the famous shoe maker from Portland who makes fantastic climbing boots as well as the Marines boots, all made in USA, hand sawn soles that you will be able to replace! And for the soles, one brand : Vibram! And yes you read well, resoling is now possible!
