- The M76 Otter is an amphibious cargo vehicle developed in the late 1940s by the US Marine Corps as a replacement for the M29 Weasel.
- In April 1945, the Army began developing a tracked amphibious cargo transport vehicle, and in October 1947, the prototype of the T46 amphibious cargo transport vehicle was produced.
- The T46 had a boat-shaped lower body with an enclosed upper body mounted on a suspension system with pneumatic tires suspended by torsion bars and a retractable screw.
- The upgraded T46 prototype was given the new designation T46E1, and after passing tests that began in November 1949, production began in January 1951.
- The USMC Ordnance Department, which was interested in the T46E1, requested further road testing of the vehicle. After tests on dry lakes, sand dunes, and muddy terrain were conducted, the vehicle was given the official designation M76 Amphibious Cargo Transporter and the nickname Otter in March 1953.
- The M76 was originally developed as a vehicle for use in amphibious operations, but after the war, large-scale amphibious battles almost ceased, so its use was limited to soft terrain and areas with deep snow. However, during the Vietnam War, the low ground pressure provided by the wide tracks allowed it to be used for transporting vehicles to bases in swampy areas and for patrol missions.

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Fantastic Boots!
Size: 8.5, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
Completely satisfied with these boots. True to size, well made, comfortable from the get-go; not break in needed. Waterproof- really. The Red Suede has withstood a nasty winter season & still looks great. Good traction. I like the ankle height which looks good with long, mid length pants & leggings. I love the easy slip on/off aspect..made getting ready for dog walking easy. I 100%recommend!

Definitely worth the price
Size: 6.5, Color: Black/Black
Absolutely love these boots! I originally bought them to wear in NYC in December & they did not disappoint. They were comfortable, cute, durable and worked well in the slush/snow. The traction on the bottom is also nice! They kept me warm with wool socks. I wear them almost daily now. Perfect for everyday. easy to wear with variety of outfits. Good every day shoe.
