Boat shoes
 
I need a comfortable pair of boat shoes or flops. My feet have been killing me at the end of the day while on the boat. My reef flops have about had it. It's to the point it's more comfortable without them. Let me hear some suggestions. I looked at some of the shimano shoes already and like insoles in them.

Columbia makes some, they looked comfortable.

Find some Sperry boat shoes. Been having a pair of flip flops for 3 years now. The boat shoes are good also. Academy has a limited selection.

Had some Shimano Evairs that were really comfortable, but looked like crap. Now I wear Sperry Billfish

me too. i like both the shimano and columbia's, but my feet sweat in crocks and i sure they'll sweat in these also. i saw a guy in fl with a pair of what i'd call flip flops on steriods and they looked comfortable and open enough to keep feet ventilated. anyone know what they were? looked like a flip flop with a strap across the instep, like a flip flop/sandal and a sole like the shimano's.

x2 my brother in law just got a pair and said they are super comfortable and breathe really well

Sperry's are great, but stank like a mother after a while and you will become sterile if you wear socks with them

Been wearing crocks for 2 years and my feet hurt at the end of the day. I got a pair of the Columbia shoes and used them this weekend. after fishing all day long my feet didnt hurt. i like em.

MarshRat89 08-27-2014 01:13 PM

Had plenty of Sperry's in the past too hot and stanky. I seen those powervents at academy but I didn't think they were worth the $80 they wanted. Those draimakers look nice though.

dhebert307 08-27-2014 01:33 PM

Love my Sperry's but they do get to smelling. I use the deodorizing spray I use for my running shoes it works great got it at tri running.

huntergather86 08-27-2014 03:41 PM

like wishin I was fishin put those Columbia shoes are awesome have been wearing crocs forever until I found these great in the boat and if your feet start to sweat or get hot just put em in the water to cool you down and they drain out

Yeah, did that quite a bit on Friday, I was HOT! Actually wore them all day fishing they were so comfortable I then wore them to a crab boil that night.

The $90 price tag snuck up on me. I thought they were $60 till I got to the register. Wife banned me from Academy...until next payday...

Yeah one by galveston lol

i like the shimano's. been having mine for over two years. The soles don't wear out and get slippery like crocs. My feet don't sweat in them and they are comfortable.

speck-chaser 08-27-2014 10:29 PM

Used to use crocs, till I slipped in the boat several times. Went to Shimano,no more slipping, but the sun seems to cook through those large holes. Just went to the Columbia drain makers. Very comfortable, breathe well, and very good traction.

BassAssasin 08-28-2014 08:16 AM

the columbia flip flops are great! best flip flop ever

Keep an eye on Sierra Trading Post. They have Columbia gear out the wazuu and often times have drainmakers on big sales.

BaseballFisherman 08-28-2014 11:02 AM

I've also been looking for some boat shoes with better support. I usually wear Sperry's or Crocs and my feet don't appreciate me wearing either of those anymore. I saw the Columbia Drainmakers are on sale on the Columbia website so I snagged a pair of the Drainmaker 2. I'm looking forward to trying them out

Sperry flip flops.

I used to wear topsiders like they were going out of style but just like everyone else said.. They get nasty inside, not just stinky.

Dogface 08-30-2014 09:41 AM

Teva sandals. Super comfortable and it doesn't matter if it rains or you get in the water at the landing. I have had a lot of foot trouble and these are soft with a lot of cushion.

wishin i was fishin 08-30-2014 10:35 AM

Got any shoes yet Marshrat?
