The Deviation boot with a Sherpa fleece lining — the winter version. Same waterproof shell and siped outsole, insulated for cold mornings and shoulder-season mud.
Specifications
| Waterproofing | 100% waterproof |
|---|---|
| Lining | Sherpa fleece — the difference from the standard Deviation |
| Midsole | Compression-molded EVA for cushioning and shock absorption |
| Outsole | Non-marking lugged rubber with razor-cut siping |
| Closure | Pull-on |
When you want the fleece. Winter tailwater days, launching a boat in November, mud season, and standing around a shop or a truck in the cold. When you do not want it: anything above about fifty degrees, because an insulated rubber boot gets warm fast and there is nowhere for that heat to go.
Most people who fish year-round here end up owning both this and a standard Deck-Boss, and that is a reasonable way to do it.
Siping, briefly: the razor cuts across the outsole open as the sole flexes, squeezing water and mud out from under the tread instead of letting it act as a lubricant. Same principle as a snow tire, and it is why these hold on a wet deck when a hiking sole skates.
Check the selector for sizes. Current pricing is on the selector above. Stock is thin — call 970-964-9991 and we will tell you what is actually gettable.
Also stocked: a women's Deviation Sherpa, the uninsulated Deviation 6 Inch for warmer months, and the lower Deck-Boss Ankle Boot.
Not a wading boot — no drainage, no studs. For wading, the Grundens Bedrock or Bankside.
Care: wipe with a damp cloth, cold fresh water only, no solvents. Pull the insoles and dry away from direct heat — and with a fleece lining, give it longer than you think before wearing again.
