The most passionate outdoorsmen among us know that in any journey the first step is always the most important. That’s why Muddy developed this NEW DV8 lineup of neoprene rubber boots—to deliver 100% waterproof warmth-retaining protection that easily withstands prolonged exposure to cold wet conditions of the most extreme kind. Rugged flexible and comfort-rated from 25° to 85°F our DV8 Ankle Boots might be the most minimalistic pair of footwear in the line but they don’t skimp on features. Their combination 3mm neoprene and hand-crafted vulcanized rubber upper construction means they’re not only great at trapping and retaining your body’s warmth but also ideal for use in all those situations you wish you had anything other than a bulky pair of rubbers to wear; like bumming around camp traipsing through dewy grass to check cams or covering trails dotted with shallow puddles. Breathable mesh linings allow moisture to escape. Lightweight dual-density EVA midsoles and shock-absorbing fatigue-fighting polyurethane footbeds deliver cushioned support all day. Proprietary Muddy outsoles deliver 4×4 traction to keep you sure-footed in any weather conditions on both firm and soggy ground.
