Easy to wear with side gore

A person whose job is to create things by hand skills = a craftsman.
There are various types of craftsmanship in the world, and there are professionals who use them.

The rubber boots introduced this time are also such products.

XTRATUF's LEGACY DECK BOOT is a boot made with the old-fashioned vulcanized manufacturing method, born in far away Alaska.
The material "rubber" is actually a soft and weak material that can be easily cut by hand, and cannot have sufficient strength. In order to give strength to the rubber, the craftsmen of XTRATUF manually attach the rubber to a heavy aluminum last, and bake it in a kiln called a high-temperature vulcanization tube to create a strong material. and is changing.
This manufacturing method is similar to making tires for cars and bicycles, and it is a very difficult task. It is truly a craftsmanship made by craftsmen with love. In addition, the "uneven lines" seen on the instep of the upper is a proof of the craftsmanship of the reinforced craftsmanship. Recently, fashionable rain boots have been designed with such uneven reinforcement, but XTRATUF's LEGACY DECK BOOT is a product that has been left as a function.

Among them, the LEGACY series uses a technology called triple-dip neoprene, which is resistant to deterioration of rubber due to ozone, and is characterized by being lighter, more supple, and more flexible than ordinary rubber. The LEGACY DECK BOOT is a side gore type that is not only easy to put on and take off, but also has a stylish design that does not look like boots in a good way. The built-in polymer foam insulation provides excellent insulation and is capable of keeping your feet comfortable even in temperatures as low as -20°C.

Is 100% waterproof a given?

XTRATUF solves the problem of water intrusion due to deterioration over time, which is common in general boots, with its unique manufacturing method. In addition, the rubber is mixed with oil to exhibit high resistance to chemicals and pollutants, such as salt in seawater, substances generated by crabs and seafood, and to prevent deterioration, for those who work in the sea. There are characteristics unique to the boots that are made. Oil may ooze out during storage, but it prevents the rubber from deteriorating and drying. If you are concerned about it, wipe it off regularly. The outsole is designed to be non-slip even in water, so you can wear it with confidence, and it has been proven to protect the lives of fishermen in the extremely cold Bering Sea.

Of course, the XTRATUF (extra tough), which is also used by professionals, has been carefully considered for comfort. The entire boot is finished softly, maintaining sufficient strength and balance, making it a reliable product to wear on rugged footholds such as outdoors and leisure activities. The insole is cushioned with arch support to reduce fatigue and stress on your feet and back. The toe part has a relatively high toe spring, so it reduces stumbling when walking and is designed for ease of walking and work.
It feels a little heavy when you hold it in your hand, but it has the strength and safety you need to protect your feet. Once you wear it, you will not be bothered by its weight. (However, some people feel the weight when going out, so please check the weight when purchasing.)
The trend that light shoes = good shoes was popular for a while, but in fact, it was an idea that focused only on one side. These rubber boots are loved by professionals, and you can feel that they are protecting your feet.
