Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations on some nice fishing shoes that are very comfortable for fishing in for 5 hours or more?

 

Thanks in advance!

On a boat ive been wearing under armor memory foam sandals. Super comfortable.

Several years ago, I got some "walking shoes" from BPS.   They were very lightweight brown suede with good arch support.   They were great fishing shoes - about worn out currently - now they are working in the lawn shoes.  This spring I got some New Balance walking shoes from BPS on sale, so that is what I wear for fishing now.

Crocs, these are the most comfortable shoes I own.

Sanuk flip flops

I like my Zekos, and will wear them on and off the boat. They are super light weight, breathe nice, and washable. A little spendy but I like them.

I tape all my used rubber baits to the bottoms of my feet.  Nothing better than an arch full of Senkos.  

 

 

I am either barefoot or crocks.

Bought a pair of boat shoes, biggest mistake, I've had surgery on my left ankle a few years back and these have no support, so bad for rough water. However I started wearing a pair of Mizuno cross trainers and aching back and knees went away. Just wouldnt recommend soaking them, heavy rain or getting in water loading unloading boat.

Whatever shoes are comfortable in other situations will also be comfortable while fishing.  The only thing you need to look for is the ability to dry quickly if you plan on your feet getting wet.  I wear Keen sandals both in the slip on and non slip on variety.  They are legitimate shoes that are also sandals you get support that you need, not like crocs which are nothing more than expensive EVA foam covered in plastic and they are horrible for your feet.

Winter time is usually my muck boots and summer is flip flops. In between its usually just my everyday sneakers.

I love my crocs and my Asics Gel-Nimbus shoes, but if you are fishing off the banks with lots of grass/brush snake boots to be safe.

Tried that once but the booo's got annoying

Keen are by the best I've owned. Currently wearing Reef flip flops and Columbia waterproof sandals, and they're goid, but not as good as the Keen Newports the dog ate.

Astral Porters - best shoe Ive owned and so comfortable, you can wear them as casual shoes to boot.   I've had Keen Newports, Columbia PowerDrains, Salomons, Crocs, Tevas and more.  Until I tried the Astral Porter, the Keen Newports were my favorite until they came apart after only one year of use.

Wow, my new ports were a few years old when the doc got them. I saw your new shoes in your report on the PB. Look good.

I have a pair of Nike's I use. I bought them for running, but I didn't get into it like I was supposed to so now they're just my work/fishing shoes.

Memory foam flip flops.  I gotta let my dogs breathe or things get out of hand quick.  I'm a sweaty person and it's pretty gross- I weld all day too so when I get out of the shop I just want to vent.

Hey thanks for the recommendation, will have to try a pair! they look solid on the screen at least.

These pups right here:

 

I use a pair of Merrell Moab hiking shoes (lowtop) for shore fishing and they're light, breathable, comfortable, with good traction.  Have fished all day with them and they're great, will buy another pair once I wear these to shreds.

Crocs on the Kayak, and Merril, Vasque, or muck boots on the bank.
