SLIPNOT DECK BOOTS

For dads who spend time on boats and docks, Dryshod’s Slipnot boots will help keep him upright. A micro-etched CROSSTAR tread grips and squeegees water away in any direction—ideal on wood, carpet, metal and composite docks, and equally solid on wet concrete. These 9-inch ankle boots are fully waterproof, with a WIXIT Cool-Clad wicking mesh liner and micro-dot perforations that move moisture and air better than traditional liners, keeping feet cool and dry in warm conditions.

They slip on easily and feature a ridged heel kick for effortless removal, plus a steel shank for arch support and non-marking rubber soles. A bonus for boat anglers: they help protect Dad’s feet from errant hooks and sharp fish teeth. Available in whole sizes seven to 13 in Navy/Red and Grey/Orange.
