Kayak Footwear For Fall (And Winter?)

[Choporoz]

Sandals been perfect for the kayak this first year of fishing from it.  I suspect another 10-15 degree drop of water temp and that may not still be the case.  What do you wear on your feet when the air and water temps start dropping into the 50's?  Below?

I wear the Teva Men's Churn Performance Water Shoe.  Kind of a quick drying sneaker with bungee lacing.  Also has a fold down heel for wearing like a clog.

A waterproof boot, a muck boot maybe.

I'm needing to know the same thing.

These three look like where I want to go with this.  Probably more like the latter two.  I think the first is a little short.

wool socks if you end up wearing something non-waterproof.

Got my wife a pair of Chotas for Christmas last year and she really likes them. I just cut off a pair of old hip waders at the knee and wear wool socks with them. Not stylish but they work.

i just wear whatever with a pair of synthetic socks, wool holds too much water when wet for my liking.  once it gets cold i go stocking foot chest waders with wading boots and i am toasty warm all day long.

I bought the Marshland Waterproof Boot from Walmart but didn't get a chance to use them before it got warm. I also need to raise my butt up a bit off the kayak seat because it gets soaked.

Were I to fish from a pointy wading pool in cold weather, I'd wear neoprene booties.

Shoes.  More specifically the best most reliable shoes on the market.  Bass Pro Shop's Red Head Camo Mocs.  I'm on my third pair, almost ready for my fourth.  Not only are the the most stylish, most affordable work shoes on the market, hitting the shelves at $29.99.  They have what I call mediocre water proofing, they are almost water proof, but not quite to the point where you can get them wet.  Since they are not 50% water proof and you get wet foot if you spit on them, I have since hit the big times and switched to Duck Commander 100% water proof camo mocs.  They are much better insuring my piggies don't drown.

yes and not as bulky and dries faster too.

They have the Muck boots Trail X something or other on sale at DSG for $99, down from $139, bought a pair with my 10 DSG dollars so came out to $89. They are waterproof,comfortable, and flexible perfect for being on a Kayak.

I wear neoprene SCUBA booties.  Very warm, and no problem wading with them or getting them wet.

If hypothermia is possible (anytime the combination of the air temperature plus the water temperature is 120 degrees or below) it is drysuit time. So I wear a drysuit with wader boots. I layer up underneath to match the conditions as I fish straight through the winter.
