new levels of performance.
It was at this year’s IFTD show
hosted in Orlando that Patagonia
won the Best of Show in the annual
product showcase awards with its
Foot Tractor Wading Boots. The boots
are the culmination of years of hard
work and research and development in
collaboration with Danner, the iconic
boot maker and Vibram, maker of high
performance outsoles. Patagonia’s
and Danner’s quest to build the most
durable and highest performing
wading boots possible has led to what
Patagonia contends are the best boots
they have ever made and possibly the
last ones anglers will ever need to buy.
To achieve their goals of maximum
durability and performance in
a long-lasting USA-made boot,
Patagonia paired their expertise in fl y
fi shing and product innovation with
Danner’s proud tradition of quality
and craftsmanship. Made by hand
in Portland, Oregon, both boots are
engineered for the most demanding
wading and fi shing. And with treated
full-grain leather and stitch-down
construction, they’re designed not only
for durability but also to be resoled and
even completely recrafted as they wear
to keep them on the water and out of
the landfi ll.
