Ready to take your sportfishing up a notch? Xtratuf's Ankle Deck Boots are the boots to get you there. You've probably been struggling to move quickly around the deck of your boat in tall rubber boots trying to keep up with your fast-moving quarry. Those tall boots are designed for the crazy people that making their living fishing in 33-degree water with giant waves and gale force winds, but commercial fishing gear is overkill for most sport and recreational fishing. Xtratuf's Ankle Deck Boots are smaller cousins to the tried and true boots that have been worn by Alaskan fishermen for over 50 years and are perfect for offshore anglers looking for a more athletic solution to the conditions they're likely to encounter. Don't be mistaken. These boots are also waterproof and feature the same slip-resistant outsoles as Xtratuf's Legacy boots, only in a lightweight, performance design. Imported.
The Uppers:
Xtratuf's Ankle Deck Boots are constructed from hand-laid rubber with a neoprene insert for comfort and protection. Although hardy enough for sport and recreational fishing conditions, these aren't commercial grade boots. These Ankle Deck Boots will not withstand oils and chemicals as well as Xtratuf's Legacy boots. However, they are 100% waterproof so you'll stay dry and comfortable and on your feet all day. The uppers are ozone resistant, as well as softer, lighter and far more pliable than ordinary rubber for enhanced performance.
The Liners:
Ever wear a pair of rubber boots that make your feet feel like they're in a sauna? Xtratuf solves that problem. Where the rubber meets your feet (so to speak), Xpresscool™ anti-microbial evaporative cooling liners wick moisture and create a cooling effect. And as we all know, if your feet are happy, you're going to want to stay out on the water longer.
The Outsoles:
You'll find the same slip-resistant, non-marking Chevron outsoles Xtratuf uses on their commercial grade Legacy boots. Made from a proprietary rubber compound, they give you sure footing on wet, slick surfaces in the most extreme conditions. And being non-marking, your gelcoat will stay white and bright without having to scrub off those stubborn black marks you'll get from ordinary rubber boots.
Extras:
It's the little things that seem to make a difference when you're deciding on your favorite fishing gear. Xtratuf's Ankle Deck Boots are no exception. Their slip-on-and-go design makes use of handy loops in both the front and back of the uppers so pulling them on is quick and easy. You'll also love the built-in heel kicks that let you pop your boots off over and over without damaging the heels.
