Hey Dieter Just wanted to give some positive feedback and let you know I bought a set of never lost anchors. I bought their ropes too. All in bright orange. They’re great! Really like ‘em and have tested them in some tough spots and still was able to pull them in. Our home lake is Bull Shoals. Appreciate your videos.
I live in the P.N.W and I have xtra's an Grund's. I even had a pair of Mucks. I endorse the Xtra's but being made in China I would think they would be cheaper. I also wear Croc Off Courts and in the summer they are my go to around the water. Thanks for your vid on this topic.
I like the styling and availability of the Xtra Tuf but I can't find any to fit my 4E wide feet. I understand the Grunden is cut a bit wider but can't find them locally to try on.
Wearing rubber boots in a boat creates safety risks. If you fall into the water a couple of things could happen. If you fall headfirst, they could hold air causing your feet to float impeding your ability to hold your head above water. If they fill with water they will create extra weight on your feet while trying to climb back into the boat. Because of the suction they create on your feet when filled with water, removing them while attempting to climb back onto the boat is significantly harder. These are real safety risks. Ultimately, it’s up to the individual to decide which risks are greater, issues associated with cold wet feet or drowning hazards. Of course, lower tops will hold less water or air reducing the hazards. Stay safe out there guys.
How so? I've never own their low cut boots, but had a pair of the calf high boots. They lasted about six years before they needed to be repaired from the sole separating.

Thanks Dieter for the info , gotta have good foot wear right.Thanks
I’ve only heard of Grundens and mostly the waders and wading boots

Finding any of these to try on is always a pain....
@RonSlinker-dt7vr Thx for the insight. I'll try em

I wonder if that's why they make these things called Life Preservers/Vest, PFD's , hmm? 🤔
Hey buddy. A bit more time on deck grip would have helped. Nice review though.
They all grip about the same.....if I had to give a nod it would be to the Grundens....
What’s the popular opinion of wearing or not wearing socks with Xtratuff boots? In the summer do they get Xtra stinky from feet sweating?
I wear socks with them....low cut ankle socks
