According to fashion experts around the world (principally, my mother), rain boots are coming back. Wellies, gumboots, galoshes– whatever you may call them, rain boots are universally acknowledged to be essential during those first rainy months of spring. XTRATUF, an Alaskan-born brand, offers a wide range of multipurpose waterproof boots.
In fact, the name says it all: when I received my pair of Ankle Deck Boots, I was immediately impressed by their durability. I opted for the ankle-length boots, as opposed to their taller options, to promise a comfortable fit with any pair of jeans. The boots feel secure despite the generous space around the ankle that allows for both flexibility and breathability. They are fitted with a double loop: one in the front and back, so I can pull them on and off with ease. Slipping them off easily ensures that I keep any mud and water by the door, far away from any carpeted surfaces.
The boots’ interiors are lined with XTRATUF’s specifically engineered lightweight material, keeping my feet cool and dry. While these boots were initially designed for individuals who work in the water, they are also perfect for muddy walks in the woods and a day’s worth of heavy-duty gardening. The Salmon Sister 6 design of a school of multicolored fish is fun and playful, even if you’re not the fishing type.
A brand’s reputation can be everything, and XTRATUF has a long history of servicing the fishing community with their safe, slip-free waterproof boots. If you’re looking for a pair of functional, intentionally designed rain boots, check out XTRATUF’s Ankle Deck Boots in Salmon Sister 6 right here. Now you can securely take your dog out in the rain, weed your backyard for hours, and even finally say “yes” to joining your favorite uncle on his next fishing trip.
