Anybody tried these or had them for a while, look interesting. I have a pair of the Huk and while they are comfortable, they are ugly as a mud fence.

I own 2 pairs of the Columbia Drain makers. Super comfortable. Breathable. Fast drying.

Under Armor also makes some comfortable fishing shoes.

I really liked my fugley Soft Science shoes but they don't make them anymore. I ordered a pair of Hey Dude shoes that someone on here recommended and I love them, super lite and comfortable.
Bass Pro has a similar line of shoes. Two of the color options are "normal." There was just a sale on these, but now looks like it's back to regular price.

$17, best fishing shoes I've found yet. They run about a half size big and pronate just a tad, but by far the most comfortable fishing shoes I've worn. Even after 8hrs.
Had a pair of drain makers and they were super light and dried quick but man if you have bad knees these aren’t the shoes for you. I wore them for a few tournaments about 5 years ago and after a day on the boat my knees hurt so bad that I could barely get up the stairs.. I was only 25 then too.
I now have 2 pairs in my closet that I don’t wear. I’d rather put on flip flops or a good pair of running shoes for the support. Your back will also thank you

I had a pair of the Columbia PFG shoes and wore them out pretty quick. The stitching on the seams didn't last 6 months, and I am not hard on shoes. They also offered very little arch support and that didn't work well for me, sore feet, sore knees, sore back, I was all outta whack. Would not recommend based on my experience.
I have a pair of Columbia PFG Bahama Vent. I like the breathability, especially on hot days. They are lightweight and have held up good. They probably arent the most comfortable shoes out there, but work for me.
like mine
I have a lot of Columbia stuff. But don't like the shoes. I have flat feet and the shoes have little to no arch support. Have seen recently the Huk Brewster's are good.

Columbia produces some great stuff, but I’ve never found a pair of their shoes I could wear all day and be comfortable. Especially standing a lot while I fish. If I think I’m getting wet while launching I’ll wear a pair of DrainMakers to launch, and then I change into my Asics Nimbus running shoes for the day.

Hey Dude shoes are awesome. Light and comfortable.
I always had problems with their shoes not fitting and generally being uncomfortable, but found that their newer footwear released in the last year or so fits my feet much better and is significantly more comfortable.Originally Posted by RazorCat
In my situation, I noticed they had been redesigned and since my wife gets a significant discount for working in a mall with a Columbia store, I figured I might as well try. I was needing something to replace my worn out old Cabelas GoreTex for cooler weather and rain, so tried the Vitesse Mid OutDry and was blown away at how much better they were than their old fit. To be fair, they're not PFG and if the PFG shoes haven't been redesigned probably not worth your time, but if you find some that have been redesigned, I'd suggest giving them another shot.

I have several pairs of Columbia Bahama Vents, a pair of Hey Dudes, a pair of Huk Brewsters and Huk Mahi’s. Columbia’s good to hang out on porch or ride around neighborhood on golf cart but not great on the front deck all day, as others have already stated, no support. Hey Dudes stylish and comfortable but not a lot of support either. Huk Brewsters, not really comfortable to me. Huk Mahi’s are my go to for all day. I also have an older pair of Nike running shoes that are great. Personal preference for the most part. I have a buddy that fishes barefoot all day. Good Luck.
