In Alaska, XTRATUF boots are king. What cowboy boots are to Texans, what flip flops are to Hawaiians, and what Bean Boots are to Mainers, XTRATUF boots are to the residents and deep-sea fishermen of Alaska. It’s because no matter how rough the weather gets, these waterproof boots keep their cool—blasting through roadside slush and staying dry when submersed in puddles. Unlike clunkier winter boots, you just slip on XTRATUF boots and head out the door. Their grippy, lugged soles and burly, 100% waterproof construction comes in a lightweight design that’s as comfortable as a sneaker. Whether it’s ski weekends, shoveling the driveway, or trekking to the office when the weather is rough—these boots come through huge. If they’re good enough for Deadliest Catch, they’re definitely good enough for us.
