In the US, they say Alaskans are built different. Makes sense. After all, this is a state of over 665,000 square miles, bigger than Texas and California put together. It’s a vast, wild landscape that breeds frontier spirit, independence and resilience. It’s also a place where people work hard and play harder. From commercial fishing to logging to oilfields, Alaska can be a tough place to make a living.

So, what Alaskans wear on their feet needs to be just as tough. Xtratuf, in fact. Proven for over half a century, these 100% waterproof natural rubber boots have been fondly nicknamed ‘the Alaskan sneaker’. With a trademark chevron-lugged non-slip outsole, they’ve seen action from the Misty Fjords to Kodiak, from the Bering Sea to Harrison Bay – all the while staying firmly planted, whether on deck or ashore, and no matter how wet or wild the conditions.
