About the Author

I have been an Xtratuf boot fan since 2002 when I worked on a charter fishing boat in Southeast Alaska, in a town called Gustavus. While working for Black Rock Charters I realized that simple boot wear would not be sufficient, what I really needed was a pair of insulated Xtratuf boots. Once I purchased my first pair, I have never looked for any other type of waterproof footwear. The choice was made, I had to have Xtratufs. The one problem I encountered was finding a pair of boots once I left Alaska. Searching my local marine store did not yield any, and long searches on the internet left me burnt out. So I decided to create a website were people with similar passion could share their stories and order a pair of boots.
