Shoes 2024

TheBossT127 reply :

We talk a lot on these forums about tackle, boats, techniques, weather, lakes, and so on. I am very curious about what you all wear on your feet during long days on the water. I'm a big guy, and foot comfort is very important to me. I'm trying to get a read on this by watching the pros, and they wear everything from sneakers to flip-flops. Let's see what the replies look like...

FishinDaddy reply :

Fish out of a pair of Columbias with mesh pockets on the bottoms and sides for ventilation...Love these shoes...

jrhennecke reply :

3/4 top sneakers for ankle support.

Branuss04 reply :

If it's during summer, sandles (Plenty of Sunscreen). If it's not hot, just my normal "Skater" shoes (Super comfortable)

bassdocktor reply :

Usually just an older pair of regular gym shoes. They are comfortable and dry out decently quick if I have to get my feet wet at the ramp.

MyKeyBe reply :

I fish from the shore and like to have something waterproof in case I step in the water. Right now I use a pair of Red Wings Waterproof work boot. They are kind of heavy but very comfortable.

ejtaylor822 reply :

Mainly from the shore: Crocs around my pond. Tennis shoes rest of the time. Been thinking about getting some light boots.

Quinn reply :

Steel toe'd boots (that's all I have except some fancy dress shoes that I try as hard as I can not to wear them) ;D

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

I'm with you RW

L-R North Face Gore-Tex Ultra XCR , Grizzly 1200g Sierra's, GI Micky Boot (good to -20)

In the warmer months, I use either the North Face Gore-Tex or flip flops

GitRDoneIke23 reply :

When It's cold like right now. I'll wear my insulated hunting boots. Otherwise I'll wear flip flops.

Ryan_Johnson reply :

I'm not sure if they still make them, but I found a pair of Adida Mali shoes that are awesome!

It's a regular looking lowtop tennis shoe, but it has a thick vented squishy insert and drains in the bottom of the shoe. Good traction and comfortable enough for 10 hours on one foot.

Just don't step in the puddles with them or the bottom of your socks will be wet.

Bob Kavanaugh reply :

Whatever is on my feet at the time. I used to have a pair of Solomon Aquamphibians. Best shoes ever, but the puppy liked them more than me. Here lately it's been my house slippers, because they're so warm and comfy.

fatmanslim247 reply :

If its even close to warm its flip flops, till i get in to the boat and then they come off immediatly then usually my shirt.... not pretty but comfortable... ask nuclearpenguin he has seen this sight

ba7ss3in reply :

North Face, light weight, comfortable and air-drys pretty well.

MALTESE FALCON reply :

If I'm shore fishing when it's cold, I just wear my hunting boots. On the boat, I wear my Sperry top-siders or Sperry Figawi's.

Cigarlover 1 reply :

If its really cold weather I've got a pair of Merrell hiking boots I wear. Summer if I'm not getting my feet wet I wear a pair of New Balance tennis shoes. For this summer I'm going to pick up a pair of sandals or water shoes similar to these Keen's.

farmpond1 reply :

Whichever shoes I put on that day-more often than not, sneakers

Shadcranker reply :

< 50 degrees - Goretex thinsulate hiking boots with smartwool socks

> 50 up to 70 - tennis shoes

70> Columbia sandals

I also have a pair of North Face lightweight boat shoes that I like.

guitarkid reply :

Flip flops when it is worm, Good ole' Steel toes when it is cold.

powerman970 reply :

Crocs when it is warm and New Balance tennis shoes any other time. I have to admit though that the tennis shoes are a superstition and I carry them in the boat even when I wear the crocs. I have been known to put them on when the bite is tough.

Popeye reply :

Asics Gel Kayanos. The cushiness of the gel pads in the forefoot and heel is great, IMO:o)

Hot Rod reply :

NB Tennis shoes for support for long days on the water. In colder temps I wear heavy wool socks with a poly pro liner sock under them. They keep you feet warm and I figure if I'd fall in I can swim in them better than a pair of heavy boots.

I tried the barefoot thing in the heat of summer once. Only problem is I'm a guy that always has at least a half dozen rods on the deck. It only takes one #2 treble in your big toe to make you keep your shoes on. No matter how hot it gets.
