XTRATUF Men's 15" Comp Toe Legacy Boot

My job requires me to jump on and off of a landing craft on Alaskan beaches. This boot provides the safety I need while on the vessel as well as the comfort I need when I'm constantly stepping in and out of water on beaches. The boot is comfortable enough to be worn throughout a long workday, and doesn't feel like it's carrying extra weight or has any other issues compared to a normal XtraTuf.

I purchased these boots online (which I never purchase anything online) based on other guys swearing by them. I did try on a pair of Xtratuffs the same size I ordered, but a different style. When I got them I was disappointed. They are very hard to pull on. They are comfortable and everything else is fine, but it’s a bit of a struggle getting them on and they are pretty tight around my calves. I don’t think I’ll be buying another pair unless I can try them on.

I chose these boots because the other two pairs I was interested in (Legacy Altitude & Legacy NXT Ice) Xtratuf decided to discontinue. They did the job, kept my feet dry and my toes protected, though I wish they had a more aggressive tread because this version easily fills with sand and snow.

I have been wearing these boots for 45 plus years. I do not have one single complaint. I have nothing but the highest praise for these boot and would and have recommend them.

They used to be XtraTuf. Everybody called them Alaska sneakers because everywhere you go, somebody is wearing tufs. The quality went downhill a little bit after they stopped manufacturing them in the USA but overall they''re still a decent boot. I've had the composite toe and the regular 15" legacy boots for over a decade, the're more comfortable than a muck boot in my opinion and better for working on boats than most other rubber boots. As a fishing guide I always have a pair with me, it's always raining in Alaska.
