Xtratuf XWAB-4CH Womens 6 in Ankle Deck Boot
The Ankle Deck Boot collection has been crafted specifically for Off-Shore anglers. Anglers are athletes, and like any athlete they need the best footwear to help them perform at a high level.
The Women’s Ankle Deck Boot features a stunning aqua blue coho goring with hints of pink and yellow, with the aqua blue extending to the pull tabs and outsole. A complementary yellow strip at the sole adds another touch of style to complete the look of this eye catching boot.
This best selling boot is crafted specifically for sport and recreational fisherman. Anglers are athletes and they need proper footwear to help them perform at their best. This lightweight silhouette has the same XTRATUF® non-marking, slip resistant Chevron outsole as our iconic Legacy Boot, worn by commercial fishermen in Alaska.
