The most passionate outdoorsmen among us know that, in any journey, the first step is always the most important. They also know that the best opportunities to venture afield, whether to hunt, fish or explore, often require battling the worst weather and pushing comfort zones to the max. True to our decades-long legacy, we've once again improved how every generation of outdoorsmen pursue their hunting passions, by allowing them to get the most out of every moment spent outside, protected by the best gear available. Brace yourself. In just a minute, you'll likely be excited to bid your favorite pair of sneakers slash go-to camp shoes a final farewell. While they're the most minimalistic pair of footwear in the line, our DV8 Ankle Boots don't skimp on the features outdoorsmen expect any set of neoprene rubber boots to deliver. Just as rugged and flexible as their 13 and 17-inch-tall counterparts, these boots are comfort-rated from 25° to 85°F and measure just high enough to reach users' ankle bones, which makes them a cinch to slip into and out of. This short stature, paired with their combination 3mm neoprene and hand-crafted vulcanized rubber upper construction means they're not only great at trapping and retaining your body's warmth, but also ideal for use in all those situations you wish you had anything other than a bulky pair of rubbers to wear; like bumming around camp after a hard day of hiking, traipsing through dewy grass to check tail cams, or when covering trails that always seem to be dotted with a few shallow puddles. And if you start to heat up while you're out and at it, no worries. These boots boast breathable mesh linings that make quick work of letting moisture escape and ensuring active, hardworking feet stay comfortably cool all day. Pair those hardworking features with lightweight, dual-density EVA midsoles and shock-absorbing fatigue- fighting polyurethane footbeds, and your feet will enjoy loads of cushioned support to boot. Step after step, proprietary Muddy outsoles deliver 4x4 traction to keep you sure-footed in any weather conditions, on both firm and soggy ground. So, if you're looking to start your next outdoor adventure with the best foot forward, make sure it's protected by footwear that's been designed from the ground up by the only brand named for what they're built to see you through: wet, messy, muddy conditions. Whether early season or late, once you've slipped into Muddy's DV8 boots, all that's left to do is show the wild what you're made of.
