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 passions, by allowing them to get the most out of every moment spent outside, protected by the best gear available. Brace yourself. These versatile neoprene-and-rubber deck boots will have you bidding your taller pairs a final farewellwhile the weather permits it, at least. While they may deliver less coverage than some of the other boots in our DV8 line, our Deck Boots don't skimp on the features outdoorsmen expect from their go-to pair of neoprene rubber boots. Just as rugged and flexible as their 13 and 17"-tall counterparts, these 100% waterproof boots are comfort- rated from 50° to 80°F and boast a stylish, ankle-high design that's fitting for any outing or adventure life can throw your way, making them perfect for wearing in hunt camp, at the fish shack, when checking trail cams, or hanging stands, and nearly any other outdoor pursuit you can dream up. Their short stature, paired with a combination 3mm neoprene upper and durable, reinforced rubber toe and heel cap construction for added protection, means they're great at trapping and retaining your body's warmth and ideal for use in all those situations you wish you had anything other than a bulky pair of rubbers to wear. And, when you're in a hurry, they slide on and off easily, thanks to integrated pull tabs located on the back of each boot. Pair those hardworking features with shock-absorbing fatigue-fighting polyurethane insoles, 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, especially when taking on wet, slippery surfaces. So, if you're looking to start your next outdoor adventure with the best foot forward, make sure it's protected by footwear designed from the ground up by the only brand named for what it's built to see you through: wet, messy, muddy conditions. Whether it's early season or late, once you've slipped into Muddy's DV8 boots, all that's left is to show the wild what you're made of.
