The Rana Elite is a men's wading boot with a lugged outsole, aimed at anglers who want grip on mixed river bottoms without felt. It pairs a 900 denier nylon upper with a double-padded collar and an internal toe cap. Corrosion-resistant lace loops and speed rings handle the lacing. This is the size 8 lugged version.
