Solid boot.
"Comfortable with great grip. Glad I didn’t add studs before trying them out. They worked really well and a long day wading my feet felt great. I’m sure they will only improve as they break in."
RS Wading Boot
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.

Reviews
First time buying
"Very good boot design, comfortable and good support. I hope they last longer than my other brand. “ I follow Troutbitten and Slide Inn, listen to what they say about Skwala!"
Best wading boots I’ve ever
"Best wading boots I’ve ever worn. There so much support when hiking, and the traction is amazing—even on the Big Hole River!"
Skwala wading boots, get both, they are second to none in comfort and practicality!
"I’ve got both the Carbon & RS wading boots and waders. The design, construction, materials and comfort are second to none!! I can wear them all day long with absolutely no problem."
Best Top Ever
"Best tops ever! I am in the audio/visual industry and the long sleeve tops keep me cool and protected from UV. Really great feel and fit."
Steelhead sneakers
"The boots were comfortable right out of the box and only got better the more I wore them. I normally wear a size 11 but ordered a 12 and they were just right. Grip on slick rocks was good with out added traction."
Hands down best boot out there
"The RS wading boot is the best boot I’ve ever owned. Superior support, excellent fit, and lots of grip."
RS Waders and Boots on an Olympic Peninsula Steelhead Trip
"I recently bought a set of RS Waders and RS Boots and used them on a steelhead trip on the Olympic Peninsula. I have always used Simms products in the past and was happy with them. However, in reading the reviews for Skwala, many were from prior Simms customers who felt Skwala products were superior. I agree! The zipper front on the RS Waders was so superior, especilly when I was wearing rain gear. All of the guides and other veteran anglers in camp all agreed that Skwala has the best quality products and features available in the market today. They aren't cheap, but their fit and quality are well worth the price. I'm a customer for life!"
Awesome Wading Boot
"Super comfortable with great ankle support. Fantastic traction."
Awesome Boots!
"But they sure are nice ont he trout streams in Western WI. When access is crowded I can hike further faster and safer than the other anglers on the river. I got these boots and the RS waders for fall musky trips int he drift boat."
