water proof fishing shoes?

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.

boots. I happen to use West Marine brand, as the size 14's were on sale.
But all the ocean tuna guys use the purpose built fishing boots.

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! :-)

Spend time putting things away? How big is that pile of lures on the
deck right now?
Putting things away...HAHAmmHAHAHAHAHA ROFLOL

If it is gonna rain all day, I wear water proof boots. For showers, I
keep a pair of rubber overshoes in my boat with my rain suit. Got them
at a feed and seed store for about $12. They slip over my tennis shoes
and are fine for a few hours. I have even put my shoes up and worn
just them if the rain was coming quick. They are thin and store well.

Most guys in my "neighborhood" use rubber boots from the local wally world.
They're cheap and readily available. Whatever you do, don't let anyone talk
you into anything with a zipper. Nor do you want a short boot; water does
run uphill and will sneak up your pants leg into a short boot. For extremely
cold rainy days I wear a pair of insulated waders instead of the rain pants.

Kevin,

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!
