The Homer was inspired by Alaska commercial fisherman who prefer to slip into a lightweight shoe during the down time when they aren't working the decks or when the fish aren't biting. The Homer is water resistant with a slipper like feel. A comfortable wool upper with a full faux-shearling lining keeps you warm and cozy, while a molded EVA insole provides added comfort. While the classic XTRATUF non-marking Chevron outsole delivers great slip resistance.
