XTRATUF Limited edition Cotty Custom Boot

“I’ve always admired XTRATUF for their reputation as a trusted, durable brand, especially among people who live and work in extreme conditions,” shared Cotty. “Their connection to the ocean and commitment to high performance really resonate with me as a surfer who spends so much time in and around the water. When this collaboration came about, it felt like the perfect fit—not just because of their product quality, but because their values align so closely with mine.”

Inspired by Cotty’s fearless approach to the ocean, this boot is designed for those who never back down from a challenge. The COTTY boot is a special edition of the iconic Wheelhouse

boot – the more robust, commercial-grade version of the Ankle Deck boot. Featuring a wider fit for all-day comfort, perfect for long hours on your feet. The 6-inch upper is reinforced in high-wear areas like the toe and heel, ensuring maximum durability in tough conditions.

“As a surfer searching for the next big wave, Cotty needs a super durable boot,” said Zach Castagnola, Marketing Manager at XTRATUF. “Built for commercial grade fishing, the Wheelhouse is great for anyone looking for a comfortable boot that will perform in tough conditions.”

There’s a subtly embedded question on the boot asking, “Is this it?,” a reminder to keep pushing boundaries and exploring new possibilities. It also poses the question, “What makes you feel alive?.” Both questions are values ingrained in Cotty and speak to his focus on chasing big waves, being immersed in nature, and constantly challenging himself, whether in the water or in life.

Continued Cotty, “This boot is a symbol of resilience, connection, and the pursuit of what truly matters, both on and off the ocean. This collaboration with XTRATUF ties into that narrative—it’s about being prepared for anything, embracing the unpredictable, and thriving in extreme environments.”
