Grundens Deck-Boss Ankle Boots

The DECK-BOSS™ collection was designed to provide anglers with comfortable performance driven footwear options that will outlast even the longest days on the water. We’ve prioritized a thicker insole to promote noticeable shock resistance and the Anti-odor cooling liner will ensure you leave the typical footwear stench behind. Built in razor siping helps move water out from under the shoe improving grip on wet surfaces and combined with a natural gum rubber outsole, you’ll be standing upright on deck all day long.

  • Asymmetrical Top-Line
  • Temperature Regulating Liner
  • Anti-odor cooling liner
