DryShod’s Sod Buster Boots are a perfect choice for gardening or warm-weather farm work. They come equipped with a WIXIT Cool-Clad wicking airmesh lining with added micro-dot perforations. This design wicks away moisture and allows the air to flow more than traditional airmesh, keeping the foot cooler in warmer temperatures. A Hydrokote water-repellent treatment causes water to roll off and dry almost instantly, making the Sod Buster Boots 100% waterproof. The Sod Buster’s outer shell is composed of multiple layers of vulcanized rubber, which is resistant to most common barnyard chemicals and features reinforced toe, instep, heel pocket and perimeter foxing. Other features include the DS-5 outsole which is made from durable gum rubber and excels at wet and muddy conditions. The perimeter lugs, heel strike and toe plate are serrated to provide optimum grip on rough surfaces while the interior lugs are long and smooth to provide optimum grip on smooth wet surfaces. The system of grooves between the lugs provide excellent lateral/medial flex and quickly channel water and debris out and away with every step. The round shape of the grooves also prevent mud and grit from caking and holding during use. For added durability, the DS-5 sole is welt-vulcanized to the upper and guaranteed to hold tight for the life of the boot.
