Xtratuf® Boots are the number one choice in Alaska. Because of the comfort, grip, and durability of this brand, fishermen won’t even consider using anything else. They need to be strong because they put in 16 hours a day of work and spend months at a time wearing rubber boots. Anyone wearing this boot can be seen on a TV show like Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch or Gold Rush. They provide the same level of comfort as your favorite pair of sneakers. After wearing them just once, you won’t ever purchase another brand.
The toughest waterproof boot we are aware of is made of hand layered, triple-dipped, seamless neoprene. It is also resistant to corrosives and acids. This boot is simple to put on and take off thanks to the smooth fabric lining. -Cushioned insoles for long lasting comfort. -Special chevron tread on the soles provides excellent traction on slick surfaces.
Xtratuff boots are known as the Dutch Harbor dress shoe because they are permitted in every establishment on the island for business. They fit underneath the leg of the jeans so that it appears as though you are wearing a pair of shoes rather than rubber boots because they are so soft and pliable.
**** Size listed are in mens. These boots run a little large, so you can wear multiple pairs of thick socks or add a boot sock or felt insole. If you normally wear a half size and won’t be using a boot sock insert, order a size smaller. Typically, 11-size shoe pairs sold to men who wear 10-1/2-size shoes were exchanged for 10s. ****.
$00 from every sale donated to Seattle Fisherman’s Memorial Fund.
LFS has been motivated for more than 50 years by the sheer grit and perseverance of commercial fishermen. These courageous individuals chose a line of work that few would even consider. We are proud to introduce our Xtratuf 6-inch Wheelhouse boot adaptation in a sector where function comes first. The LFS Wheelhouse boot is our way of saying “Thank You” to commercial fishermen everywhere. It was inspired by fishermen and built with gratitude.
Every time you purchase a pair of LFS Wheelhouse boots, LFS and Xtratuf will donate money to the Seattle Fisherman’s Memorial Fund. The Seattle Fisherman’s Memorial organization provides vital services to families and friends in their hour of need, going above and beyond simply paying respect to the lost fishermen. The Seattle Fisherman’s Memorial is an essential charitable organization in our sector and region, providing services like grief counseling, educational scholarships, and discounts on safety and emergency training. We are pleased to back their cause, and we hope you will do the same.
