Excellent point and advice about cleaning. They do tend to hold onto gravel. I keep mine on the boat and rarely wear them off the boat. But if worn off the boat it's definitely necessary to make sure they are clean before wearing them onboard again for the reason you've mentioned.

She's beautiful! Thanks for the video.

The best way is to boil the stones in water. There are many YouTube videos showing the process. Try searching YouTube for "drying boots with hot stones," or other similar search terms. Wrapping them in wool socks or paper towels/cotton rags before placing them in the boots is helpful. Happy...

From a commercial fisherman's / stevedore's perspective, I recommend a pair of XTRATUFF boots and a thick pair of wool socks. After decades on the Bering Sea, I've not found anything better. You'll need to get a boot dryer or keep a couple of smooth river stones on the stove to put in the boots...

On the Bering Sea (Dutch Harbor) we swear by Grundens. If you've ever watched The Deadliest Catch, that's what I mean by "on the Bering Sea"; people literally standing and working for hours at a time, getting pummeled by raging storms on deck or on the docks. For me (and pretty much every...
