Description:
These unique rubber boots were designed by Daiichi Rubber with comfort, style, and durability in mind. Each aspect of the boot is designed with extreme care and consideration. The outer sole has a ripple design for a deep notch and grip. This allows the boot to be flexible and bendable, while still maintaining a firm grip on even the most slippery of surfaces. The pull on design of the boots is inspired by American agriculture, and the pull strap helps the wearer pull on or off the boots. Perhaps most uniquely of all, these boots were manufactured with “direct vulcanization”. This vulcanization method completely seals the boot, ensuring that your feet remain warm and dry. Finally, these boots can be folded for easy storage during dryer months!
