Xtratuf Merges Alaska-proven Design With Sesame Street Nostalgia in Holiday Boot Collection

Bright waterproof boots celebrate Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster while keeping the brand’s performance DNA intact.

Xtratuf is bringing a dose of childhood color to its Alaska-proven silhouettes this holiday season. The brand has teamed with Sesame Street on a limited-edition collection that reimagines its waterproof deck boots through the lens of Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster.

“Xtratuf has become a rain boot staple for families around the world,” Mike Roundhouse, vice president and general manager of Xtratuf, said via press release. “We wanted to create something fun that captures the feel-good energy of Sesame Street while staying true to our performance heritage.”

The kids’ lineup mirrors the adults’ silhouettes in scaled-down versions: a vibrant multi-character print, a white boot with pastel hearts and faces and a red Elmo style among seven total designs. Each pair is fully waterproof with pull tabs and flexible soles for easy wear, retailing between $58 and $75.

This isn’t the first time Sesame Street has done a shoe collaboration this year, either. Back in March, the brand teamed up with Reebok on a Sesame Street sneaker collection for kids, inspired by beloved characters like Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby and Big Bird.
