water proof fishing shoes?

Thanks,  Kevin

When the rain gear goes on, the shoes come off and get stowed in a dry box. Your feet are going to be wet anyway. Might as well keep your shoes and socks dry for after it stops.

L.L. Bean's Maine Hunting shoes would do it. You can get them in various heights. Not sure if Woo Daves shoes are waterproof, I would love to get a pair of them but they don't make them in 14!

I usually buy two pairs at a time, and I change every day from one pair to the other. This gives a chance for sweat to dry out of the boots before the next time that I wear them. They last a lot longer, and my feet stay dry day in and day out. Also, I don't get a foot odor problem this way. I never wear the same pair of boots two days in a row if I can help it. These are the same boots I wear every day working. I do light construction, and offcice work so my days can vary from spending all day sitting at my desk to spending all day climbing up and down a ladder.

Int he past I would usually get 6 months out of a set of foot wear. By switching back and forth with these boots I get a year and a half to two years out of them. I do tend to wear out a lot of boot laces.

You wouldn't want to do that in my boat however. I'm more focused on getting fish to bite. That means there's literally dozens of lures, hooks, sinkers, and assorted fishing paraphenalia lying on the decks at any given time.

I spend time putting things back into place once off the water, but in the meantime, I wouldn't recommend being barefoot in my boat.

I wear sandals from late April into September. I know that unless I'm wearing rubber boots, my feet are going to get wet, so I just bow to the inevitable and embrace it. Wet, sandaled feet aren't bad, they dry quickly and even get washed once in a while! :-)
