I was wondering about my next pair of fishing shoes. I like a tennis shoe type, my last pair was Cabelas country walkers, totally waterproof for over two years but theyre worn out now. Maybe I'll go with a new pair of the same but the break in period was quite a while with those. Any suggestions on a good waterproof shoe, for fishing in cold rain in january, as well as hot august days?

I have also been looking for some good fishing shoes

everlasts flats boots are good for center console boats because they have grip and you don't slip.

for a dual console bass boat I would sugget crocs. i know they are ugly, but they are very comfortable, water repelent, they breathe, and you have 62%less muscle fatigue in your legs over normal shoes.

crocs in the summer, anything warm in the winter..

Thanks Ronnie

flats boots also keep your feet warm and are completely waterproof. Very nice for those cold days.

i would suggest golf shoes, supposed to be waterproof.

Do you prefer soft spikes or metal?

Definite thumbs up on the crocs in warm weather...

I got a pair of Merrill water pro's for warm weather fishing. These can get wet and they drain quickly. Hikers uses these as they are very light. The following link has these on sale.

Tim, you are just too dang cute, aren't you! When did you shave your legs and start wearing dresses???

I would agree with the Crocs in the Summer Time.

Andrew G and all,

You can fish in your crocs or sandles all year around. All you need is a pair of seal skinz. Waterproof, warm, and breathable. Try 'em and you won't regret it!

Are those your legs or are you riding a Chicken?

I just bought me some Gore-Tex shoes from HiTec at BPS. They are really comfortable and claim to be waterproof. I know their tactical boots that I wore when I was in the Army were comfortable.

Crocs suck!! They claim to be waterproof, but after about 4 days of fishing this past summer (while camping), my crocks stunk like a... well lets just say really bad. I thought I would let them air out for a few days, but no cigar.

I wear a rubber boot type shoe when it looks like rain and in the cold I usually have my old hunting boots, they are comfortable and very well broke in, also one can wear wool socks if it is too cold with them. In the summer I just wear my flops and then as soon as I start fishing I go bare footed. Just put sun screen on the feet as they will burn...lol I have found that with my bare foot it's easier to control the trolling motor....The hot deck doesn't bother my tough feet but my wife has a towel she will stand on. Her feet are sensitive to the heat. My carpet is a gray color and it does get a little warm.

for fishing, i would say no spikes.

I fish in Kobes or Jordans...it gives me super human abilities!

unless there is ice on the deck

Here are my Bonita Sandals

Surge, I hate to be the one telling you this, but it's not the crocks that stink man, it's the foot fungus.

That must have been some fungus to infect a pair of crocs

I bought a pair of ECCO boots at Dillards 5 years ago and they are the warmest and most comfortable boots i have ever had. My wife got me new pair for christmas.

I prefer Nike Shox. Most comfortable shoes i have worn. I have 2 pair and will be getting another. You can have them custom built by Nike for about the same price you pay in stores and this allows you to choose colors and materials. I broke my back in 2002 when I fell from a firetruck and every once in a while it flares up. The Shox have really helped with that. I do not use a butt seat so I stand and they help out. I liked mine so much my wife and father in law bought some and my daughters want to order a pair.

I like wearing some shoes like boyd duckett wears, nice and flashy !!!

Try Vasque XCR's or Northface XCR's Gore-tex. I couldn't get a pair in stock of 15's. Bought a pair of Cabela's brand.

I like my Keens. REI and Gander Mountain carry them. They are very comfortable and I wear them all the time. Keens makes waterproof shoes and sandals.

I also have the Northface goretex shoes mentioned above. Those are good too, but they seem to be flat with no real support. They are not my most comfortable shoes.

Another shoe to check out is Newbalance. They make very comfortable shoes. I wear my Newbalance zips in the summer. They breathe well and are extremely comfortable and light. I also wear zips for the gym. Very good shoes.

That is AWESOME!!!!

Muck Boots from http://www.MuckandStuff.com are the best Foul/ Cold Weather boots ever. Extremely comfortable, light weight and good grip lug soles.

Look at their Fishing boots and 6" Jobber Work boots.

I have the 12" Chore Boot and they are a bit too much unless it's below freezing. I wore them at Fork in a snow storm last April and my feet were sweating.

Bazz

Correct, but those crocs absorbed that smell like there was no tomorrow.

I just got my first pair of crocs yesterday.. I am gonna give them a try.

When it's not raining or too cold I like wearing Nike Shocks. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

Crocs year around. Unless it is bad cold. For the summer I wear the regular open sandal type and in the winter I wear some lace up water proof Crocs.

I wear socks all the time, but if yours stink just throw them in the washing machine.

My feet always hurt me after standing and fishing all day, but not with Crocs.

have to agree...Crocs are the best. Crocs are the only footwear I can wear standing up on the boat all day fishing. I've had mine for several months, putting them through absolute hell and they just don't quit.

Doesn't matter what season it is, these things don't really come off my feet much.

My feet stink too but only because I'm on them all day and my feet sweat a lot. Best advice I can offer for that is to wear socks and spray some odor eaters or something in before you put your foot in the sock. The powders help to address the sweat and the smell.

I wear crocs because I like to jump off the boat some times for a quick cool off dip in the warmer months. Crocs slip off real easy and if they hit the water ...they float. They are water proof, breathable, comfortable, and I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that they actually float. So you can't loose them...unless you hit them with the prop. :-)

When on a boat, its good to have the important things float. Nothing like having to walk in the sticker grass and on searing pavement to get to the truck because your new pair of expensive Nike basketball shoes just became marine structure for shad. You do that ONE time and I promise you you'll have a pair of Crocs in the boat for backup from then on.

academy has all their hunting boots/shoes for 30% off right now. i bought a pair of wolverine slip on's which are suppose to be waterproof for $28. pretty comfy, but they are camo!

This here is galdarn Texas, we fish in a nice pair of Lucchese's!

Crocs, get a rope.

Woo Daves fishing shoe, made by Georgia boot, availiable at BPS

New Balance and a can of Kelly's Waterproofing Protector.

Crocs are UGLY!!! My feet fish naked. That way if I fall in, no big deal. Winter time I just wear some nice comfy shoes.

I wear New Balance in the summer and all other times. No better shoe for that. But during the Early Spring when it is rainy and cold, I want something to keep my feet dry and warm. I had a pair of New Balance waterproof shoes and they were just to bulky.

Bill Dance either style....BPS

Sperry "Topsiders" for summer.

All the team logo crocs are half off at Acedemy in Plano. They had Texas, Texas Tech, A&M and cowboy ones.

Just picked me up a pair based on all the above recommendations.

Did you get a pair to match that dress?

I usually wear nike shox when the weather allows. Those are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have about 6 pair, 2 pair are for nothing but fishing. When the weather is rainy and cold, I wear wolverine waterproof work boots. They are pretty comfortable also as they are made for being on your feet all day.

I got the Tech ones because they looked almost normal.

I fish in the crocs but they are the flip flop style, a little more manly. they are the best things I have had on my feet in years. A nice pair of warm house shoes for me in the winter.

when its hot enough I fish barefoot but most of the time in just my everyday shoes.
winter=ski socks and tennis shoes
