Guy Harvey Inc. has partnered with Xtratuf, a leading boot and apparel brand inspired by the rugged and always-evolving needs of the commercial and sport fishing communities. Xtratuf’s classic and consumer favorite Ankle Deck boots will feature iconic marine artwork by world-renowned artist, conservationist and scientist Dr. Guy Harvey, with a portion of proceeds from sales benefiting ocean conservation and marine science education through the Guy Harvey Foundation (GHF).
The Guy Harvey x Xtrauf Ankle Deck boots are available online at GuyHarvey.com, Xtratuf.com and select retailers, featuring a vibrant lineup of marine-inspired footwear for the whole family. The collection includes multiple styles across men’s, women’s, and kid’s sizes. For men, there are three traditional Ankle Deck Boots available in Marlin, Shark, and Mahi designs, as well as two styles of the Ankle Deck Boot Sport in Wahoo and Sailfish designs. Women can choose from four styles of the traditional Ankle Deck Boots in Marlin, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, and Sailfish. The collection also includes Big Kids’ and Little Kids’ Ankle Deck Boots in Seahorse and Shark Camo designs.
“We’re thrilled to dive into this exciting partnership with Xtratuf, bringing together our passion for marine conservation and their expertise in durable, high-performance footwear,” said Alex Harvey, licensing and marketing director for Guy Harvey Inc. “With every step taken in these deck boots, we’re not just making a statement, we’re also marching forward in our mission to protect our oceans.”
Xtratuf Ankle Deck boots are 100% waterproof with a slip-resistant, non-marking Chevron outsole and are a staple for sport and commercial fishermen both on and off the water. Antimicrobial moisture wicking XpressCool lining keeps feet cool and dry in warm temperatures, and a molded EVA insole provides all-day comfort for long days on the deck. Additionally, the Ankle Deck Boot Sport is built with the same features as the classic Ankle Deck Boot but in a sportfishing specific silhouette that is up to 30% lighter with a high-performance Biolite foam which is ultra-durable and slip resistant.
“Guy Harvey is a natural partner for Xtratuf as we continue to design boots for sport fishermen and boaters,” said Mike Roundhouse, Vice President of Xtratuf. “Xtratuf boots coupled with Guy Harvey’s artwork carry and communicate a clear message to protect our oceans, something that our brand and its fans are passionate about.”
Dr. Guy Harvey has built an apparel, accessories and lifestyle brand featuring his authentic marine wildlife art with the purpose of emphasizing the importance of sustainable marine initiatives and education. The art is a reflection of his experiences and tells a story about the life of the animal or fish portrayed. A portion of all proceeds of sales from officially licensed Guy Harvey products goes to the Guy Harvey Foundation, which collaborates with local, national and international organizations to conduct scientific research to better understand and conserve the ocean environment and provides funding to affiliated researchers and also develops and hosts cutting-edge educational programs that help educators to foster the next era of marine conservationists.
