TheBossT127 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 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... Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 5, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 5, 2008 Fish out of a pair of Columbias with mesh pockets on the bottoms and sides for ventilation...Love these shoes... Quote
Branuss04 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 If it's during summer, sandles (Plenty of Sunscreen). If it's not hot, just my normal "Skater" shoes (Super comfortable) Quote
bassdocktor Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 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. Quote
MyKeyBe Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 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. Quote
Pigsticker Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 wow i guess i am the only hobo here, i usually fish barefoot after memorial day or if i go somewhere i wear flip flops then take them off I also use a rope for a belt (not kidding) ;D Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted March 6, 2008 Super User Posted March 6, 2008 Nike Shox 8-) x2. I have a special pair that's reserved just for fishing. Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 I usually wear sandals. I have a pair of rugged shark sandals the most comfortable sandals ever and they are made for the water. Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Mainly from the shore: Crocs around my pond. Tennis shoes rest of the time. Been thinking about getting some light boots. Quote
Quinn Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 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 Fer real all !! Quote
KevO Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 croc flip flops in the summer and adidas running shoes any other time Quote
Ifish4keeps Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 i usually fish barefoot, its just how i roll. 8-) if not barefoot, my nike shox black on black Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 6, 2008 Super User Posted March 6, 2008 You girls must not fish when it's cold! Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 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 Quote
GitRDoneIke23 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 When It's cold like right now. I'll wear my insulated hunting boots. Otherwise I'll wear flip flops. Quote
Ryan_Johnson Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 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. Quote
