Let’s be honest, you’re not wrestling with halibut on the Bering Sea. Your daily battles involve spilt coffee, a surprise puddle on your walk to the pub, or, at most, a rogue sprinkler in the garden. For years, the legendary XTRATUF Legacy Boot has been the unofficial footwear of Alaskan fishermen—a rugged, 100% waterproof hero built for a life of freezing temperatures and slippery decks. But what about the rest of us? The ones who just want to keep their socks dry and still look like they know a thing or two about the outdoors.

Enter the Huckberry x XTRATUF Legacy Elevate Deck Boot. This is the Alaskan sneaker, reimagined. It takes everything that made the original great—the triple-dipped waterproof neoprene, the slip-resistant Chevron outsole, the sneaker-like comfort—and chops it down to a more civilised height. Now you can easily slip them on and off without a 15-minute struggle, making them perfectly appropriate for life in the Lower 48.

Available for a respectable $140, this exclusive collaboration comes in two limited edition colours, ensuring you won’t just stay dry; you’ll look good doing it. So whether you’re braving a torrential downpour, a muddy festival, or just a particularly wet patio, these boots have you covered. They’re a witty nod to rugged durability, proving that you can have all the performance of a high-seas hero without actually having to, you know, go out to sea.
