“The thing I was most interested in was the durability. After two months and 400,000 pounds of beautiful wild sockeye salmon harvested, the Tahma GripTec boot looks crazy close to how it did brand new out of the box. The tread is still immaculate and all of the seams remain viable. No leaking or slipping whatsoever. I am very pleased with their performance and would buy these over anything else on the market without hesitation.”

My side-by-side comparison of the Tahma vs Xtratuf boots. • Traction on deck. Advantage goes to Tahma. • Support & comfort. Tahma’s superior lateral support at the ankle and extra cushy sole give them the win. • Easy on/easy off. Moving from the deck to the house is a constant way of life. Tahma boots win hands down. Tahma’s are the best-functioning boots I've worn.

“As a sanitation worker in NYC for 10 years, I encounter all sorts of weather and trash situations. The Tahama Griptec boot is perfect for all the conditions I deal with. The sole grip is sturdy and firm, which means I'm never slipping or falling. The boot is very comfortable, waterproof, and the safety toe gives me the security I need. I love these boots and am grateful to be an owner.”

“I am a fisherman with almost two decades of experience and the Tahma Griptec boot is the best boot I've ever worn. The break-in period was minimal, if not nonexistent. And, aside from the super-grip sole, the fact that my heels don’t slip is what I appreciate the most.”

“I love the Tahma boots! They are much more comfortable than Xtratuf because of the heel. My favorite part of the Tahma GripTec heel is the material it is made of. I bought a brand new pair of XtraTufs for crabbing and within two weeks I had a hole in them. That was about the time I received the Tahma's and I was like, damn I bet these are the boots! I've had about 15 long-line trips on the GripTec. It’s gonna be hard for me to go back to the classics.”
