Author	Topic:   deck boots recommendation
strain	posted 06-01-2005 01:08 AM ET (US)         I'm getting tired off scrubbing off all the scuff marks from me and my buddy's cheap hardware store rain boots. Anybody have a good recommendation for good deck boots that will keep out the slashes of the Pacific and save me some elbow grease?

Easy to clean, and they don't leave marks. They're also called clamming boots. You should be able to find them at anyplace that caters to commercial fisherman. BillS

DWE	posted 06-07-2005 11:47 AM ET (US)          Dubarry Marine Footwear is the best, in my opinion. The outsole's series of interlocking channels provides incredible traction. The Mirapel leather is top-notch, as well. Of course, they are more expensive than, say, Sebago or Sperry, but the product is definitely superior. http://www.dubarryboots.com/catalogue/20
ivansfo	posted 06-08-2005 09:56 PM ET (US)             My crew and I have Xtra Tuff deck boots. No marks from these on Whaler non-skid deck. I heard Rod Rack in Hayward has them. Here's what they look like. http://www.anglerscenter.com/clothing_boots_xtratuf.htm
