The Riverwalker Felt Shoe from Patagonia are comfortable felt wading shoes that are extremely light and flexible while providing stability, durability and foot protection. High water, slick bedrock, cobbles like greased bowling balls. Patagonia's Riverwalkers built their reputation in the most demanding wading conditions, with great flexibility, fast drying times and light weight.
Notched flex zones allow for natural foot movement; a polypropylene insole/shank provides stability. But don't let the comfort fool you: These are tough boots for serious wading. Details: synthetic leather and high-filtration polyester mesh (100% recycled) uppers for maximum support, protected lacing, molded EVA midsole; Patagonia's Rockstopper insole/shank stabilizes grip and protects against stone-bruising.
In three resoleable choices: felt (sewn on), tungsten-carbide studded and sticky rubber. Sized to accommodate neoprene stocking-foot waders.

Comments about Patagonia Riverwalker - Felt:
I was pleasantly surprised by the durability of these boots. They are much lighter than the previous pair I have used, but do not sacrifice any rigidity in the sole design, or overall stability. The felt worked well on all shapes of river rock/boulders, and moving from a grassy bed to rock was an easy transition. Overall I am most pleased with the versatility of the boot. I can definitely see myself using these in the summertime months when only shorts, neoprene booties, and felt soles are needed.
