Meet The DRY Brand, a new name in waterproof footwear that blends style, comfort, and culture in every step. Founded by a crew of action sports legends, creatives, and outdoor enthusiasts, The DRY Brand was born to fill a gap in the market with waterproof footwear that performs in any condition while staying true to the people who wear it.

“When our friend Kevin first developed The DRY Brand boots, our crew naturally became the testers,” said Jesse Fritsch, CEO and Co-Founder. “On a trip to Mammoth last year, we realized Kevin had built something special – boots that worked anywhere but still reflected the style we actually wear and the kind of brand we’d be proud to represent. Since then, we’ve spent the past year refining the design and are excited to share The DRY Brand with those who, like us, love being outside but don’t see themselves in other waterproof footwear brands.”
