The women's Deck-Boss in Iron Gate — the charcoal colorway. Currently sold out.
Worth saying plainly: this is one of the most in-demand boots on our site. More people ask for Iron Gate than we have ever been able to keep on the shelf. If you are here because you want this exact colour, call 970-964-9991 and we will tell you what Grundens can get us and hold a pair in your size when it lands. We would rather do that than have you settle.

In stock right now in other colors: the Women's Deck-Boss in Silt and Cherry is on our site with a full size run — same boot, same construction, different colour. The Maritime colorway is also listed, though it is nearly gone too.
Why people want this boot. Grundens designed the Deck-Boss for commercial fishing crews standing on wet decks all day. In Montrose it has quietly become the boot people wear for mud season, the barn, the launch, and the school run — waterproof, pulls on, and the siped outsole actually grips instead of skating. The siping is the clever part: those razor cuts open as the sole flexes and squeeze water out from under the tread rather than letting it act as a lubricant.
Not a wading boot — no drainage, no studs. For wading, look at the Grundens Bedrock or Bankside.
