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.

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.

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.

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.


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


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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
