The Friday Find: XTRATUF’S Vintage Ankle Deck Boots Can Handle Anything Thrown Their Way

My days in Brooklyn might look a little bit different than fall and winter in my home state of Michigan (raking leaves! Hauling brush! Shoveling snow!) but I like to think I still know a thing or two about the best work boots for men, and about how to wear ’em. And when the time comes to get down and dirty (especially as I trek back to home to Michigan), there’s a pair of boots I’ve found myself reaching for consistently across the summer and into early fall.

As shown above, that’d be the XTRATUF Vintage Ankle Deck Boots, a revamp of the same design trusted by fishermen on the frigid high seas of Alaska (and now worn to great effect as a work boot across the lower 48.

As luck would have it, you can find these sturdy and dependable boots online at XTRATUF, as well as through my friends at Huckberry — and they’re packed with the sort of specs every person needs when it comes to durable fall work boots.

To hear XTRATUF tell it, the XTRATUF Vintage Ankle Deck Boots, from the company’s Vintage Pack Collection, feature design details well-suited for anglers, and in this case, that means front-and-back pull tabs that nod to nautical rope, plus a pre-distressed, vintage-style finish and a rich array of earthy color combinations across the sole and upper.

The outsole is famously slip-resistant, the boots feel sturdy and substantial without being absurdly heavy (a tricky balance to strike among pull-on work boots at times!), and the vintage effect is a style touch I appreciate (just like your dad or grandfather might appreciate).

Particularly when paired with canvas work pants or a dependable set of faded blue jeans, these are lightweight work boots made even better than one might expect, and they’re offered at a more-than-agreeable price (more dough in your pockets to load up that YETI cooler with cold beer, right?).

To step into fall properly and in durable fashion, the XTRATUF Vintage Ankle Deck Boots (available either through the brand or at Huckberry ) are a tried-and-true winner with vintage-style looks and reliable specs to match.
