Patagonia Salt Wading Booties

4mm perforated Yulex. Corrosion-proof side zip. Non-marking soles.

The Patagonia Salt Wading Booties are the warm-water answer for flats, beaches, and boat decks — quick to pull on, low bulk, and protective where it counts. A perforated stretch upper drains fast while still blocking sand and debris, and vulcanized rubber overlays add real puncture and abrasion resistance against coral, oyster, and shell. A corrosion-proof vertical side zip with an expanding gusset gets them on and off quickly, and non-marking soles will not scuff a deck.

Why We Like It

Wet wading the flats usually means choosing between protection and bulk. These land in the right place — enough rubber to walk oyster and coral without worry, light enough that you forget them, and the side zip means you are not fighting them on a rocking deck.
