What to Expect from This Apparel
The XTRATUF Men's 15" Legacy Boot is a full-height waterproof fishing boot made from flexible, ozone-resistant latex neoprene. Unlike a rigid work boot, its construction is designed to allow comfortable movement while maintaining a watertight exterior.
Triple-dipped shells create a seamless barrier, and hand-layered construction adds strength at important stress points. The open-cell foam footbed provides cushioning and arch support for long days on your feet.
