Xtratuf XADSM201 Ankle Deck Boot
The Xtratuf XADSM201 Ankle Deck Boot Sport is a lightweight, 100% waterproof men's fishing boot built around a sportfishing-specific 6-inch silhouette. Made with BioLITE high-performance EVA, a breathable mesh liner, and an SRC-rated slip-resistant outsole, it combines waterproof protection and dependable traction with a more athletic feel for fishing, boating, and everyday life around the water.

The one-piece BioLITE outsole is engineered to be lightweight, durable, supportive, and slip resistant, while the overall design provides sneaker-like comfort and agility.
