Xtratuf Men’s 6” Ankle Deck Boots
The Xtratuf Men’s 6” Ankle Deck Boots are designed with Alaskan winters in mind with a rich 50-year heritage born on the waters of Alaska. In short, they are built to withstand the most demanding marine environments, no matter how cold.
Alaskan winters are harsh, so Xtratuf designed a boot that can conquer whatever the weather throws at you. They’re also a testament to durability, comfort, and functionality, making them a standout choice for watersport enthusiasts and anyone seeking reliable footwear for wet conditions and cold conditions, indeed, Xtratuf, state down to -20C.
Crafted with Xtratuf’s signature attention to detail, the boots feature a 100% waterproof construction, ensuring your feet stay dry even in the most challenging situations. Whether on the river bank or exploring coastal terrains, the boots offer reliable protection against water intrusion, keeping your feet comfortable and dry.
Designed to work on wet ice while simultaneously being able to transition to other wet surfaces, this boot features a GlacierTrek® PRO outsole, which is Xtratuf’s proprietary ice-gripping slip-resistant compound that provides exceptional traction on wet surfaces, minimising the risk of slips and falls. The outsole’s design efficiently channels water away, maintaining that secure grip even in the wettest of conditions.
Comfort is another area where these boots excel. One of the defining characteristics of these boots is their lightweight design, with the addition of a faux shearling lining for quick-drying comfort and warmth. Despite being robust, they are a boon for all-day wear. The design feature prevents fatigue, allowing users to move freely without feeling weighed down, a crucial factor for those spending extended hours on their feet.
The 6-inch ankle height strikes a balance between protection and mobility. It provides ample support around the ankle without restricting movement, allowing users to navigate uneven terrain or deck surfaces easily. The boots are straightforward to slip on and off, thanks to the front and back pull tabs, facilitating quick changes when needed and even with the coldest fingers.
Overall, the Xtratuf Men’s 6” Ankle Deck Boots are a reliable and high-performance option for individuals seeking footwear capable of withstanding demanding marine environments. Their waterproof construction, lightweight design, superior traction, and comfort features make them an excellent choice for use after ww kayaking, sea kayaking or SUP, or anyone needing durable footwear for wet conditions. These boots offer exceptional value for those prioritising functionality and durability in their footwear.
