Viking Wear is no stranger to the commercial and marine industries, offering a few dozen different proven boot designs. One of the most popular of these is the 13-inch high Gator Marine Boot. The Viking Gator model V W 37 is the shorter of two Gator models and the most popular with professional fishermen. They were originally designed for those stalwarts working the frigid waters of the Bering Sea…but they are perfect for anglers fishing anywhere it gets cold. They feature a soft quick drying "wool like" insulated pile lining that was Alaska-tested for comfort to -4 degrees F. The Viking Gator Short Boots have an adjustable collar with a draw for an improved fit. They are easy to get into even for oversized anglers with XL calves. The Viking VW37 boots feature a black non-slip sole with a raised heel that provides sure grip on all deck surfaces, but may leave scuff marks on some decks. All Viking boots are quality hand-made from the sole up using layers of natural rubber for long-lasting comfort and durability. As testimony to their durability, Fisherman Senior Editor Fred Golofaro has been wearing the same pair of Viking boots on cold weather junkets for 30 years. They are 100% waterproof, are resistant to mild acids, alkaline and UV rays and are made with oil resistant soles. An orthopedic design instep provides maximum comfort even when worn all day.
