As the purveyor of the premier waterproof neoprene boot favored by fisherman thanks to its durable, no-nonsense design, Xtratuf was already pretty out of the ordinary. After all, how many boot brands can claim to make the “Alaskan sneaker?”

Yeah, these will definitely be able to handle the rainy morning commute.

While Xtratuf has carved out a rugged niche for itself excelling in wet and harsh conditions, today the brand is starting down a new path. The Out of the Ordinary (OOTO) collection merges its well-known practical functionality with a street-ready aesthetic.

An outdoor icon, updated

The Ankle Deck Boot OOTO fuses performance-ready DNA with an updated, modern silhouette, resulting in a boot that’s more than ready to handle fall and winter’s rain and snow.

Built with soft, recycled yarn pull tabs, a cushioned, molded footbed and an ergonomic fit that excels at everything from running errands to grabbing a drink with friends, the new OOTO boot is built for all-day comfort.

The updated silhouette features a ribbed, stretchy mid-cut ankle panel, which lends a more modern look to the boot.

Color blocking adds to its city-ready appeal, switching things up from the sometimes drab hues of previous work-oriented styles.

For a boot designed to tough it out in the elements, this new release from Stratus looks pretty damn sharp.

The anti-microbial, moisture-wicking lining keep feet comfortable when things heat up, and the bio-based rubber foam helps to lessen the boots’ environmental impact.

Like its rugged brethren, the Ankle Deck Boot OOTO is built with the iconic Xtratuf slip-resistant and non-marking chevron outsole, and it’s 100 percent waterproof to boot (so to speak).

Availability and pricing

The first release in the new Out of the Ordinary collection, the Ankle Deck Boot OOTO is available on Xtratuf’s official website for $125.
