I am looking for a water proof shoe to wear when fishing in my boat.
The rain suit I have keeps me dry but my feet get wet. I would like
to find something comfortable to wear all day and easy to get off and
on. Lacrosse makes one called Halsey. I cant find anyone local who
has them in stock so I can try them on. Anyone have any suggestions
for other shoes to try?

Thanks,
Kevin


Trick I learned from Larry Nixon -- only applies in warmer weather,
obviously.

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.

Is it safe to tromp around a bass boat barefoot?

It all depends. If you're good about putting things away and keeping a neat
boat, you'd be fine.

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! :-)
