If you’ve ever spent time at the docks, there’s a good chance you’ve seen at least a few people sporting some Xtratuf footwear. After all, the brand has been trusted by commercial fishermen for over sixty years.

Now, the brand is breaking into a new space. With the Xtratuf Legacy Altitude Low, this iconic rubber boot moves from the shores to the mountains.

Go anywhere, literally

While these boots maintain their iconic slip-on style and silhouette, one significant change is the sole. This new version has a much more hiking-friendly outsole boasting multi-traction lugs designed for all-terrain adventures.

Better still, the outsole is designed to flex as you walk, helping to shed any debris — like mud and gravel — stuck between the treads.

Yet the boots don’t lose any of their ocean-going capabilities, either. Even with the new lugs, they’re still SRA slip-resistant, so you’ll have sure footing on every surface, even the sopping wet ones. Plus, they have an open cell foam insert to ensure your feet are comfortable from your first step to your last.

A legacy in action

Apart from the new outsole, these Xtratuf boots are still built with the same overall silhouette, style and quality the brand is known for.

That includes a completely waterproof neoprene upper crafted using the brand’s signature triple-dipping technique. It’s also highly resistant to any acids, chemicals, and contaminants you might encounter in your travels.

They’re also not alone in Xtratuf’s catalog. Another version, the Altitude 15-inch Legacy Boot, has the same upper and all-terrain outsole but a much higher cut. More like traditional rain boots, they offer extra leg coverage, should you need it.

Pricing and availability

Xtratuf’s Legacy Altitude Low boots are available now on the brand’s site for $165. Plus, for a limited time, buying these boots will also score you an additional hoodie or crewneck sweatshirt at no extra cost. Just be quick about it, as the deal ends at midnight on December 16, 2024.
