Dockers Carlton Chukka Boot vs XTRATUF Men's Ankle Deck Boot

Pick the XTRATUF Ankle Deck Boot for wet, slippery work on boats, docks or in rain; it is 100% waterproof with a non-marking chevron outsole and pull tabs. Pick the Dockers Carlton Chukka for everyday wear to the office or around town; it is a lace-up synthetic-leather hiker-style boot with a padded collar. The Dockers has a small but strong rating base (4.7 from 19), while the XTRATUF is a purpose-built rubber boot with no break-in and a roomier fit that runs small, so half sizes should order up.

• Choose the Dockers Carlton Chukka if you want a casual lace-up boot that looks right with jeans or chinos and does not need to be waterproof.
• Choose the XTRATUF Ankle Deck Boot if your feet will get wet or the ground will be slick, and you want a pull-on rubber boot you can hose off.
