My New Balances have died and I am getting a stabbing pain on the inside of my right knee due to not wearing proper supportive shoes when fishing, according to my family physician.

Anybody out there have any suggestions regarding good, supportive fishing shoes?

Standing 10 hours in a bass boat can take a toll on your feet and knees and the older you get the more aches and pains you feel.

Thanks in advance.

Haha Roadwarrior - I use those exact arch inserts (those one on the top). I'm getting old and broken in my young age...

Sam - If you want something more shoe like (and not something you could storm a building with ) check out these:

They haven't failed me yet... I want a pair of these though:

How awesome would you look in those!

Keen.  I have foot issues, and these are the most comfortable footwear I own.

you wear those in the summer?

They are designed for our troops in Iraq.

The boots are light and breathe. However,

they are not waterproof.

Yeah, no thanks. I'm sure my sneakers are much cooler and lighter.

Probably not...

At any rate, the boots are just an option

the Sam might want to consider.

if the new balances were working fine before then id just get another pair of them. to be honest, new balance are one of the most comfortable tennis shoes i have worn straight out of the box without having to break them in the first week or two...

I second the Keens. The Newport H2 specifically.

Thanks to all.

I will be visiting the sites and taking everyone's input into consideration. 

If you were comfortable and had good sucess with the New Balance then why change? I hate to order anything online unless I have handled, worn or tried the product prior to ordering.

I still recall my father telling me " do not skimp on shoes or a matress because you will spend a major portion of your life in one or the other".

I really like these North Face Ultra 105 GTX XCR, they are very comfortable.

i perfer sperry boat shoes.  add doctor schools as needed.

If you're into flip-flops or sandals, try Crocs. Cured my plantar fasciitis within a few weeks after having the symptoms for over a year. I know they seem trendy, but they are for real.

Blegh...

Footwear is something I seldom buy on line due to 1 very bad arch, also size will vary with manufacture.  I hit on Teva boat shoe that fit me nicely, 1 pair for boats and another for shore walking.  For beach it's either Columbia sandals or Crocs.

Yeah, no thanks. I'm sure my sneakers are much cooler and lighter.

And you would be wrong. They are like wearing a pair of tennis shoes.

The two most comfortable pairs of shoes I own are Sperry Billfish, and under armors they have at academy.

You might want to consider a trip to the podiatrist. I had terrible plantar fasc (spelling someone?) Pain was so bad  I had to actually crawl on hands and knees if I had to get up in the middle of the night. Anyway, the doc fitted a custom mold and made inserts for me. I haven't gone a day in the last twenty years without them.

Plantar fasciitis

I picked it up a couple of years ago playing soccer.  Had to wear this strange immobilizing boot at night for a long time before it got any better.  Combine that with a cortisone shot and I was good to go after a while.  Still acts up once in a while.  Painful stuff.
