No matter how well your ski boots fit, taking them off at the end of the day always feels good. We all have our fave shoes to slip into after a day in our ski boots. Blundstones, Bogs, Sorels, or even comfy sneakers work, but I recently discovered a new favorite après-ski boot — XTRATUF Deck Boots, specifically the fleece-lined XTRATUF Deck Boots.
While not made for skiers per se, XTRATUF Deck Boots are most definitely made for wet weather. Most recognizable in their taller 12-inch brown Legacy style, XTRATUF boots are standard issue for Alaskan fishermen.
The beauty of the 6-inch deck boots for après ski is their slip-on fit and comfy, low-bulk feel. At a basic level, they are simply rubber boots. But these XTRATUF Deck Boots are lined with microfleece. The lining boosts their fit and feel from clammy rubber boots to comfy slip-on shoes.
100% Waterproof and Slip-On Simplicity
Whether you are sliding out of your ski boots at the trailhead or the ski resort parking lot, you can count on a slushy, snowy mix to greet your feet. XTRATUF deck boots offer a comfy and 100% waterproof refuge for tired feet. They are much easier to slip into than a pair of Blundstones, and they effortlessly seal out snow, rain and slush to keep your feet dry and warm.
Given their modest ankle height, they don't feel like overkill for après-ski social hour. No more clunking around in your big winter boots. They've become my go-to shoes for grocery runs, town trips and general wet-weather wear. Treat your feet to practical and fun aprè-ski comfort. They are available for men, women and kids, too!
