I have always wondered what they were called and good tip on the cold.

Where did you buy them how did you find sole on deck

[bobconnie]

You buy em in a Marine Store, and they are made for working the deck of shrimp boats one of the more slippery decks around so I would say pretty good soles

Just type "White shrimp boots into Google and presto!!

[bobconnie]

Maybe I should apolagize !! They are sold mostly in Gulf region of the USA Also up in to NC and SC don't know where your from and should have used better sence! Sorry bout that

If style is important to you and you're willing to spend a little more, checkout Dubarry brand boots: Sailing Boots - Footwear - Men - Collections

[zeehag]

if you are kayaking and need warmth on feet, use the diving booties-- they are flexible and warm, as they are part of the wetsuit used in cold water.... try em.

muck boots with air bob soles

Shrimp boot has heel not suited for sail deck, Dubarry boots are nice but I need to eat as well, muck boots look like I am going hunting looking at Vicking tall boot or the gill tall boot price around 50-70 $

[bobconnie]

Heels wont work on a sail deck ??? boy thats a new one on me !! Ive been wearing them for yrs heel and all!! never slipped yet !! except when a wave triped me LOL

[COLINFLTENG]

Why do most boots that are call sail boots have no heel???

In your area you want Xtra Tuffs. There are several different kinds-if you want to spoil yourself you can get the insulated ones. They're really warm. This is what Alaskan fishermen wear. I wear them daily for work in the boatyard as well, they are pretty bombproof. They do have (small) heels. I like the safety model with steel toes. The factory is 2 blocks from our boatyard so we get them cheap. I've worn them for many years and know countless other pro boaters who have as well. My wife buys me expensive Gills as a gift but I secretly prefer my insulated steel toe Xtra Tuffs.
