You don’t have to be swabbing the deck to appreciate a good boot for the job. From enduring a rainy city sidewalk to climbing up your front steps, deck boots can be an essential option for the fall and winter months especially. Xtratuf knows a thing or two about non-slip footwear, being originally commissioned by BF Goodrich in the ‘50s to aid commercial fishermen in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. And they’re still a go-to today for people who prefer staying upright when it’s wet out. They’ve now partnered with online retailer Huckberry on this exclusive co-branded version of their flagship Waterproof Deck Boot.
Inspired by off-shore fishermen putting up with the toughest conditions just to make ends meet, these rugged boots reach up to your ankles for extra coverage and have a lightweight construction — weighing just 3.16lbs per pair — that won’t weigh you down when you need to move efficiently. The uppers are made from hand-laid waterproof rubber colored brown and lined with XPRESSCOOL to help the inside stay dry as well.
Underneath you have a tan outsole with Xtratuf’s signature slip-resistant Chevron pattern for ultimate footing on any wet surface you’ll come across. The Chevron outsoles have been a hallmark of the brand’s boots since the beginning. And as they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Unlike some ankle boots, the Waterproof Deck Boot is easy to put on and take off, especially with the front and rear pull tabs.
If you’ll be weathering the storm this season, make sure you equip yourself for any situation with the Huckberry-exclusive Xtratuf Waterproof Deck Boot. Priced at $125, it’s currently available on Huckberry’s web store. The boots are available in full sizes, with the company recommending going up if you’re a half-size (e.g., if you’re 12.5, go up to a 13).
