When it comes to wading boots, details matter. Every fabric, layer, stitch, and component has to lock together in a harmony of thoughtful design. RS Boots are meticulous. From the innovative and exclusive tri-tiered, stair-step lug patterned we developed with Vibram®; to the Figure-8 ESS rock plate; to the high-density EVA midsole, to the removable Ortholite® insole—we vetted every detail—and that’s just in the soles! Bonded seams, double lasting, and TPU reinforced uppers make RS Boots abrasion resistant, flexible, and nearly indestructible. A molded toecap protects your feet from rocks and other obstacles. Non-absorbent foam interior cuffs pad and support your lower legs without carrying water. This all adds up to a serious wading boot for anglers who demand traction, comfort, and durability in every step.
Skwala boots accommodate neoprene booties or wading socks, so please use the shoe size you choose for other athletic footwear, half sizes should size up. Check out our sizing video or call us at 833-523-1500 and we can help you out.

"Just back from a three day trip to the Flat Tops Wilderness, put on just over 25 miles of trail hikes and tons of wet wading. These boots acted just like my favorite Danner hiking boots. Never felt hot spots or foot fatigue. They stayed lightweight when wet which makes all the difference hiking in them to the next spot. I have zero complaints so far and don’t see any in the future. Best wading boots hands down. Thank you!"
"I am just back from Yellowstone and Skwala’s RS Wading Boot is the best I have ever laced up. And I have at one time or another over 50 years have owned and worn out them all—Red Ball, Weinbrenner, Danner, Patagonia, Simms, et al. I should not be surprised that my old friend Brian O’Keefe is part of your posse! Thomas R. Pero Publisher Wild River Press"
"So far so good. The boots are comfortable. The traction is decent too. I like that they also don’t get super stiff once they’re completely dry unlike other wading boots I’ve used in the past. I feel as though they’re worth the price I paid for them. After that purchase, I decided to try out a couple of Your jackets. They’ll get put to the test this coming winter during my Steelhead season in October up here in Alaska. We’ll see how they do? Keep up the good work."
"After years of sore feet and lower back from cheap big store boots I finally splurged for a pair of nice ones. The rs boots are incredibly comfortable right out of the box and worth every dollar."
"These boots are bad ass. Lots of space in the toe box and good support for stability. Hopefully they can stand up to my abuse, lots of river miles and hikes to the river."
"I like the toe box area, lacing system, tread design"
"I’ve had these boots only a short time after wearing Simms boots for years. I really like how easy it is to get in and out of them. The lacing system is easy and great. The support feels good. The only issue is how large and bulky they are for packing."
"Can't find a fault, it's a very good product. They are sturdy but not so heavy that it's a problem. Build quality is great."
"Everything I want in a boot. Ankle support and grip in the treads! I added Patagonia studs just as an extra layer of safety. Love them!"
"Most comfortable stable boot I have ever owned!"
