XTRATUF Men's Shrimp Boots - White
XTRATUF Men's Shrimp Boots - White
You don't have to work on a shrimp boat to wear these boots (if you do, you're probably already wearing them), you just need to want dry feet when you're on or around water, mud, muck or slime.
The iconic white shrimp boots. You can almost smell the ocean looking at them. Xtratuf took these classics and added their proven technology to the outsoles and anti-microbial insole inserts. The result? Xtratuf's Shrimp Boots are better at keeping you on slippery decks and providing all-day comfort and odor protection. Imported.
The Uppers: Even if you aren't getting pounded by waves or sloshing around in chum on a regular basis, the durable and flexible PVC uppers are 100% waterproof, so they'll get you through most mud and muck you encounter. Being seamless, the only way water gets in is through the top. The uppers are bright white to reflect sunlight so your feet stay cooler and to improve visibility in low-light conditions for safety. They're also reinforced at critical stress points for longer wear. Built-in heel kicks let you remove your boots without using your hands.
The Insoles: Anti-microbial comfort inserts provide added comfort and protection against bacteria. You'll find these inserts make the difference in being able to wear them all day in any condition.
The Outsoles: Slip-resistant, non-marking Chevron outsoles made from a proprietary rubber compound give you sure footing on wet, slick surfaces in the most extreme conditions.

FAQs
Commercial Aquaculture
We manufacture gear and distribute supplies for oyster and clam aquaculture, as well as select products for mussels, scallops, seaweed, and urchins.
Our offerings include shellfish cages and trays, grow-out bags, rope, floats, longline clips, anchors, hardware, and predator netting. If you don’t see what you need on our website, please contact us—we’re happy to help.
All of our pricing is set at commercial wholesale levels. We offer additional discounts on many products when ordered by the pallet, and on gear ordered by the truckload.
Absolutely. No two farms are the same. Site-specific conditions—such as water depth, current, and food availability—often require adjustments like modified flotation, additional support, or reinforced structures. We’re happy to work with you to design the right solution.
Yes. Whenever possible, we prioritize working with U.S.-based manufacturers.
We stock most standard supplies and can ship quickly. Lead times for manufactured products vary—please contact us for current availability.
Recreational Aquaculture
Our recreational gear is made from the same commercial-grade materials but is designed for ease of use without specialized equipment.
Grow-out bags come pre-assembled—simply attach floats and add oysters.
For best results, choose oyster seed that is at least 1.5 times larger than the mesh size.
For example, a 14 mm bag should be used with oysters that are at least 21 mm.
In most areas, yes. Regulations vary by state, so check with your local authorities before starting.
Growth time depends on water temperature, flow, and food availability. In warmer regions like the Gulf, oysters can reach market size in as little as 8 months. In colder regions like northern Maine, it can take up to 4 years.
Commercial Traps
We build lobster, crab, eel, and fish traps.
We stock several standard traps (including seabass, scup, eel, green crab, and blue crab). For custom trap orders, we typically require a minimum of 25 units.

The most effective bait is oily, strong-smelling, and durable enough to last during a soak.
- Top choices:
- Herring – The most popular option in New England due to its high oil content
- Menhaden (bunker/pogies) – Very effective but breaks down quickly
- Mackerel – A durable, oily alternative
For longer-lasting bait:
- Fish racks (carcasses) or skate – Last longer but produce less scent
- Squid – Very durable; best used in combination with other bait
Yes. Recreational traps are designed for easy deployment from docks, small boats, or shorelines.
