A highly versatile boot offered at a more than fair price point considering the quality here, the Xtratuf Men’s 15 Inch Insulated Legacy Boot is a brilliant choice for those seeking a no-nonsense, simple, and straightforward insulated option for the hard water and beyond.
Designed for enduring freezing cold waves and icy decks, these are fishing boots geared toward cold-weather boat trips. That being said, the Chevron outsole utilized here provides solid underfoot traction on virtually any terrain, so these stompers are ice-fishing-approved.
In regard to insulation, built-in Polymeric Foam keeps your feet warm down to -10 degrees F, so these are toasty boots for most conditions. Moisture-wicking Breathe-O-Prene insoles furthermore feature a breathable, open cell structure to reduce drying time, so any sweat or wetness that sneaks into the boot won’t last long.
Xtratuf has built these boots with latex neoprene which is softer, lighter, and far more pliable than ordinary rubber, so they are inherently more high speed/low drag than most of the comparably designed competition. The 100% watertight construction is made with the brand’s signature triple-dipping technique, so you can rest assured these boots won’t allow any moisture in unless you fail to be mindful of the boot opening at the calf.
Not to be overlooked, the brand has equipped the Legacy Boots with cushioned insoles with arch support to help fight foot fatigue and stress on the legs and back, so you can cover a lot of water without feeling spent.
Xtratuf has even gone on to include heel guards in order to protect against bumps, scrapes, and abrasions, ensuring a long lifespan.
