Patagonia River Salt Wading Boots

I will be listing this on Mercari for a little while longer, but if it doesn't sell at this price, I plan to take it to a recycling shop where an acquaintance works. If you are considering purchasing it, please make your final decision soon.

I am listing the Patagonia and Danner collaboration wading boots, the River Salt Wading Boots.
Sticky rubber (no studs have ever been attached).

The size is US 9, which is approximately 27 cm in Japanese sizing.
As many of you may know, due to the use of full-grain leather, the fit changes immediately after getting wet.
If you are considering purchasing these boots, please be very careful when choosing your size.

Please check the photos carefully for the condition of each part.
They have been used 11 times: 4 times in mountain streams and 7 times in lakes.
These are tough boots and are still in good condition for heavy use.
However, there are two points that I find concerning:

- The eyelets are frayed due to rubbing.
- As shown in photo 12, there appears to be a stitch break near the base of the little toe on the right foot.

These are the only two points that I find concerning.
The eyelets are only slightly frayed and show no signs of breaking, and the stitching does not affect usability.
Furthermore, I could not find any other stitch breaks.
The full-grain leather is covered in scuffs, but this does not affect use at all.
I have applied wax four times in total. I believe the leather is in relatively good condition.
The sticky rubber has rounded edges on each block, but it is still usable.
However, in my experience, they can be slippery in mountain streams.
I recommend using them in:
- Rivers you are familiar with that are not slippery.
- Saltwater fishing in surf or fishing ports.
- Fishing in snowy weather.
- Fishing in lakes.

The manufacturer's suggested retail price was ¥59,400 (tax included).
Unfortunately, this product has been discontinued. However, Patagonia will continue to provide after-sales service, so these boots can be enjoyed for a long time to come.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have in the comments.

Thank you for your consideration.
