Columbia shoes
 

How are these shoes holding up. Thinking about getting a pair. Attachment 87488Attachment 87489

I have the power vent shoes and the techsun flip flops. both are comfortable as hell and work as advertised. I wear the shoes everyday.

I wanted the leather boat shoes like you posted but thought they would stink a lot faster than the other two.

I have leather sperry's. And they stink pretty bad.

I have a pair that are in the same situation. lol

Its funny how "boat shoes" are the last thing I'd want to wear fishing all day.

I wear mine in the boat and they're comfortable. I don't have any problems other than that I can't take em off inside the house. lol

I used to but when they get wet, its no good.

just after the above comments it seems safe to say that they stink pretty badly after use! lol they look cool though

I thought about getting these

those look like they would mark up a boat deck in a hurry , good times scrubbing right there!:grinpimp:

I bought the green version of those. They were comfortable and good/cool shoes. Never wore them fishing though

the ones I mentioned in my first post are just a different version of those. Wear them fishing with no socks then throw in the washing machine. Made to wear fishing so its a non marking sole. It really does drain any water through the vents.

I have a pair of the mesh Drainmaker 2. Best boat shoe I have worn. Very durable and comfortable. Good amount of support. I had to stop wearing sperrys and crocs on the boat due to lack of support and worsening plantar fasciitis. Since I switched to the Drainmakers my feet have been a lot more kind to me. Mine started smelling bad after the very first time I washed my boat and got them wet. Doesn't matter if you go barefoot or wear socks - as soon as they get wet they are gonna stink. They also have non-marking bottoms. Mine are black and blue on the bottom and I have no issues with marks or scuffs on my fiberglass deck

I have a pair of Drain makers... Nice shoe.. But I jus purchased the Sperry Kingfishers 2 Sneakers with AVS..

Those columbias have been calling my name for a while now....Gonna keep the crocs for now...

I liked these more than I thought I would, comfortable with good traction, and great for wading.

I had to stop wearing crocs cause the floor in the boat would get slippery from flipping big lake hawgzzzz all day and the crocs gave 0 grip in the fish slime.

Bstealth how do you wade in those without getting your feet/legs torn up by oysters?

This is true, I almost busted the *** at the launch saturday bc I forgot how slippery they get....I usually take them off once I'm in the boat though

Beach wading, or sandy bottom stuff only. I wear neoprene "dive" shoes for the rough stuff.

crocs or bust
