Whitewater Basin Deck Boot

Conceived and perfected from top to bottom, Whitewater Fishing truly took every application, condition, and millimeter into consideration. For openers, the boot’s exceptionally durable and slip-resistant sole features a custom pattern that was developed to both fortify traction and channel water away. The boot body is formed from a premium rubber material vulcanized around a neoprene footing, which is constructed of a soft but durable, two-ply, 3mm neoprene/2mm air mesh material. The boot’s removable and contoured polyurethane insole provides substantial arch support and 7mm of thickness in front and 10mm in the heel. Sounds more like a premium running shoe than a fishing boot.
