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.
Double lasting and TPU reinforced uppers for improved protection of high wear areas.
High-density EVA midsole for stability in rocky, uneven wading environments.
Vibram® IDROGRIP™ soles with unique and proprietary tri-tiered stair-step lug pattern that provides superior grip and stability.
Glass-impregnated D-ring lacing system reduces friction and wear on laces without sacrificing durability.
The Skwala RS Wading Boot is as close to a perfect pair of wading boots that I’ve ever come across.

"Great to hike in on. You will never twist an ankle with the support. Traction is very good. I did find myself slipping on the really slippery steep blueline rocks. I am adding grip studs this weekend, hopefully that fixes this. I love the lacing system. You can get firm and tight support. These boots look and feel bullet proof. The tread is amazing!"
"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"
"Best boots I’ve ever worn! I’ve tried several brands over the years and Swalas are hands down the best I’ve ever worn."
"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."
"awesome wading boots, fit prefectly!"
"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."
"Best wedding boots I’ve ever bought"
"I like the toe box area, lacing system, tread design"
