Imagine this: It’s a crisp Saturday morning, and you’re gearing up for a weekend of fishing with friends. The sun is just peeking over the horizon, casting a golden glow on the water. You can feel the excitement in the air as you load your gear onto the boat.
As you step on deck, you need footwear that can handle the slippery surfaces, sudden splashes, and long hours on your feet. That’s where the all-new Riptide Collection from XTRATUF comes in.
These shoes are designed for life on and off the boat, making them the perfect companion for your aquatic adventures. Whether you’re reeling in a big catch, exploring tide pools, or just enjoying a day on the water, the Riptide Collection has you covered.
Built for the Water: On Deck and Beyond
The Riptide Collection is engineered for life on the water. Bringing together the dependable performance the brand is known for, but with a light, breathable feel that compliments your casual exploits on the river, lake or ocean, the Riptide collection is all XTRATUF — with an additional touch of the unexpected.
XTRATUF’s Next Wave: Fresh Design, Same Legendary Grip
XTRATUF has crafted an all-new silhouette with the Riptide Collection, but don’t worry — they haven’t strayed from what they do best. You’ll still get that signature non-marking, slip-resistant outsole that made XTRATUF a go-to for seafarers and shore-walkers alike. Wet docks or slick decks? No problem.
Eco Meets Performance: The BioLite Revolution
At the heart of the Riptide Collection is the one-piece injection-molded BioLite slip-on. This isn’t just any EVA — it’s BioLite, a high-performance, eco-friendlier alternative. Lightweight yet durable, these shoes balance sustainability with the rugged functionality you need for your aquatic exploits.
Stability on the High Seas: Comfort You Can Count On
No one likes a wobbly walk on a wet dock. That’s why the Riptide sneakers feature a molded shoe and heel design that cradles your foot, adding both stability and comfort. Whether you’re navigating choppy waters or strolling a sandy beach, your feet will thank you.
Traction to Trust: No Slip, All Grip
Wet surfaces are no match for the Riptide’s textured footbed. It’s designed to enhance traction and ensure a secure fit, reducing the risk of slips and falls. Plus, with a built-in heel strap, these shoes stay firmly on your feet, so you can focus on the adventure ahead.
Ready for Anything: Water Friendly and Versatile
One of the standout features of the Riptide Collection is its strategically placed drainage holes. These allow water to flow right out, making the shoes perfect for both wet and dry environments. Whether you’re wading through shallow waters or caught in a sudden downpour, the Riptide sneakers are ready to keep you comfortable.
Leave No Mark: Slip-Resistant, Non-Marking Outsoles
True to the XTRATUF name, the Riptide sneakers boast a non-marking, slip-resistant outsole. You can move confidently on any surface without worrying about leaving behind unsightly scuffs or, worse, losing your footing.

The Riptide Collection comes in unisex adult sizing, so finding your ideal fit is a breeze. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just love the water, these shoes are built to meet your needs.
