During the warmer months, same here.
Early and late season, Dr. Scholls Work Boots.
WRB reply :
You should be able to swim in any shoes you wear. Boat shoes should be able to kick off easily.

Bank fishing always regular crocs or crocs Swiftwater, boat and kayak get speedo hybrid water shoes. Becuz you don’t know when you are gonna be in water.
Joshua van Wyk reply :
I wear crocs 95% of the time. What I like about them is that I can go into the water and not worry about drying them or them smelling the next day.
GReb reply :
Warm weather - reef flip flops and barefoot
Cold weather - tennis shoes or muck boots

Put on your normal fishing cloths and shoes and try swimming in pool with everything on, laced shoes are like bricks on your feet and it's not the weight it's the shape.

I’ve wondered about these after seeing them at a tackle show.
I’ve been wanting some PFG slip ins but can’t bring myself to pay full for them and can’t find them on clearance at the right time.

I take a lot of heat for my Crocs flip flops and regular Crocs, but Plantar Faciitis is no joke and I don't want to have to wear my expensive insoles fishing all day and risk getting them wet to keep my feet from killing me.

You'll get no heat about them from me.
I wear Crocs around the house 24/7/365 - Love'em.
Just can't do them on the water.
Pre-Dawn & over night air temps can be in the low 40's - even in July.
My tootsies can't handle that.

riverbasser reply :
Anyone else notice crocs have changed?
I have a well worn pair probably almost 10 years old. Went to get some new ones and they are no where near as soft or as much cushioning. Like they changed the formula,
Or is it just me?

Can't say as my 2 pair are multi-year veterans as well.
Don't see me needing new ones anytime soon either but I'll be sure to check them out first when I do.

FishTank reply :
I have a few that I rotate around.
When it is cold, rainy/snowy and nasty..... Muck Muckmaster or a pair of Asolo Hiking Boots if not in a boat
Spring and Fall...... A trail running shoe. My favorite is the La Sportiva brand. Some come with soles that are sticky in wet conditions.
Warm weather....... Croc Sandals or a pair of cork bed Tevas (supper comfy and they are supposed to be made for fishing)

For me, they always get softer with age. I'm on my 3rd pair.
Flatrock reply :
I just bought some shoes at walmart that are cross between slip on boat shoes and shower shoes. They weight absolutely nothing, nice rubber sole and the material I think will dry quickly

I believe these are around $80. I got them for $30 on ebay brand new. Took 3 weeks to get here but to save $50, I don't mind the wait.

I wish they also made a second version of this in Gore-Tex for Fall/Winter. I have that in Salomon and they are finally wearing out after 6 years...

Footwear preference is a very personal thing. What one person finds comfortable another may find torturous. There are several factors involved, some obvious, some not.
fin reply :
It's hard to find good bass shoes.
MittenMouth reply :
I bring flip flops but hardly wear them in 50+ degree temps. I’ve walked down gravel roads barefoot a half mile after tournaments before.
When it it gets cold I have tennis shoes on but most of the time they come off and I just wear socks. This changes once it gets in the 30’s

I personally use brooks running shoes. Love them

Rattlesnake proof boots would be a good idea for Texas and California bank fishing, fasting running shoes for Florida's alligators.

Catt reply :
I have short (8 1/2), wide feet (double E) with a high in step.
I can not wear Crocs or Flip Flops, I have to have arch support & support provided by lace up shoes.
I usually wear New Balance 608 ????

How about Crocs and socks? Works for me, even when kayaking in September and October. I dry my feet after launching, then put on the socks.
Crocs are awesome on the water footwear. Comfortable. No worries about getting them wet. They kick off easy in case you tak an accidental dip.
Bank fishing it’s jeans and boots for me even in 90 degree heat. One bout of poison ivy/oak was all it took. I make sure I am covered from insects and vegetation.

A good suggestion, but I can't wear sandals for more than 3 months of the year.
tholmes reply :
I can't stand sandals, flip-flops, Crocs, etc. Warm weather shoes are New Balance sneakers, cold weather - Ariat insulated boots.

Nike Air Max for bank and boat and Columbia Power Drain for kayak.

That is why they make deck/boat shoes that slip on or have 2 to 3 eye lace shoes that come off quickly with non-slip soles.

junyer357 reply :
Normally under armour sneakers in summer months in boat, will wear a pair of mid cool muck boots
Tall rubber snakeproof lacrosse boots on bank fishing. Had a run in with a cottonmouth years back, so those and a ruger single six .22 are my essential bank gear now.
Muck boots either way when temps drop. Which of my 3 pairs depends on temps.
Log Catcher reply :
I wear New Balance 623 all the time.
Glenn reply :
I swear by Simms flip flops in the warmer months. They're the only pair of flip flops I've been able to wear all day long, probably due to the arch support and proper fit. Other brands of flip flops tend to rub raw spots on my feet due to the loose fit.
Here they are: https://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/mens/footwear/atoll-flip-s18
They make a wide version too.
LCG reply :
Crocs all the way. Don't care how they look, very comfy and protected my feet a few times from hooks left on the bank.
Crow Horse reply :
Personal preference and it depends on what type of fishing you're engaged in....
I'm in a yak so it's NSR Paddle Wet Shoes in the summer and NSR Boundry Boots when it's cooler...
Lot's of guys like Crocs but I've found them to be slippery when wet and I've taken some epic tumbles.....
NHBull reply :
I am really surprised to see how many wear crocs. Many employers don't allow them in the workplace because workmans comp won't cover a slip and fall if worn. Very slippery compared to others in that class

I find crocs are slippery only when the tread wears off the bottom. I wear the Classic Croc's because the roomy fit Crocs are the most comfortable for me. The bottoms on those are not the greatest for grip. They do have "offroad" Crocs with soles made for hiking if you are worried about slipping. Those are made in their relaxed fit.
Not a fan as the size 11 are to small for me and the size 12 are too big. The curse of having half size feet over 10.

I have significant arthritis and wear a orthopedic brace . New balance shoes fit my foot and brace better than anything else I have tried and I also buy New Balance insoles .

It seems like soft-bottom shoes are better at being non-slip, but being soft, the tread wears off quick. I bought some Brazo's waterproof work boots for fishing the banks. They had a deep tread and had great traction and non-slip, but the tread has worn off in just a few months, and that's in the dirt and grass, not on pavement or hard surfaces. Fortunately I only paid like $25, they're now like $50.

Half size feet under size 10 can be a problem too. I found a really good deal on some Zekos at a fishing show, like half off, but they only had full sizes and the 9's were too small and the 10's were too big, especially if they would get wet. So no Zekos for me.
I ended up with a pair of Teva Evo's. They have spider rubber bottoms which is great on slippery rocks when I'm floating. I wish they would do a better job of not retaining the river smell though. They can get pretty smelly.
