![]() The new boot sole uses a tri-directional tread that reduces slippage from every angle. The previous model had lateral traction built-in but side to side movements would be less sure. The tread has been reworked to add traction from all angles and directions. On the left, the previous model Boundary Boot and on the right, the new stitched seam 2020 model.Īnother couple of changes are in the tread and reinforcement in the boot foot. The boot cuff or sleeve from the ankle to the top is wider to accommodate stuffing in your pants or just giving more room to those who have runner’s calves. The supple boot cuff at the top of the upper is still there and can be cinched down just as in the previous model. They have stitched all the seams after gluing them. The stitching on the top boot cuff has gotten closer together and the seams along the upper are no longer just a glued overlap. On the right is the expanded toe box of the boot to accommodate wider feet and the bungee lace styling.Ī couple of small details that some folks might not notice but as an owner of the previous model and four years on the water with them, I noticed. On the left is the earlier version of the Boundary Boot. This prevents your foot from sliding around as much, adds stability, and can help prevent a blister from too loose of a fit. The ability to really fit the boot to your foot size has also been improved by adding the cinchable bungee laces as opposed to the old velcro strap. The 2020 Boundary Boot has addressed that issue and given your little piggies more room to roam. One of the complaints I heard with the previous model is that anglers with a wider foot had issues with the toe box being too narrow. The new boot is aggressively styled and looks more polished than the previous model which looked more like a dive boot. The 2020 model of the NRS Boundary Boot has quite a few differences from its predecessor in both functionality and styling. Each shoe is factory tested to ensure waterproof performance. Quick-lace boot with cord-lock offers a customizable fit and a storage compartment lets you tuck away excess laces. Tightening the ladder buckle strap at the top can help restrict water entry if you step in a bit too deep. 2 mm plastic shim for even more protection from sharp, pointy objects. Comfy 7 mm neoprene insole atop a high-traction wrap-up sole provides maximum protection and support. 5 mm neoprene upper with taped interior seams guarantees warmth and dry feet. Purpose-built for mucky put-ins and soggy portages, the NRS Boundary Boot delivers knee-high waterproofness with a super grippy, rugged sole to handle the harsh terrain favored by adventure canoeists. ![]() I’ll walk you through those and tell you what I really like and what I think could use improvement for next year. Still in the black colorway of its predecessor, the new 2020 model has similarities but a considerable amount of differences. The NRS Boundary Boot (sometimes called the Boundary Shoe) has been around for several years and for the 2020 model, it got a facelift.
