    Fishing shoes

    Looking to buy a good pair of shoes for fishing on the boat. Does anyone have any recommendations? Water proof/draining, comfortable, and non-slip are what I'm looking for in a shoe. Tennis shoes take way too long to dry out in the rain when they get wet. Not a big fan of wearing sandals fishing.

    Check out Simms or Columbia PFG shows. I have two pairs of the Columbia’s and they work great but man if you have bad knees, these deff aren’t for you. Whenever I wear them I end up doing one step at a time after a day of fishing, and I’m only 27 haha

    Keen Uneek in the summer, or if you are looking for something more substantial I've switched from Vasque, which is a great choice, to Oboz Cirque Waterproof. I recommend finding a good outdoors store and trying on some quality shoes to see what you like best. My feet hold up 260 pounds so good footwear is important.

    I have a pair and love them. Good wet traction, dry fast, plenty of support my feet aren't tired at the end of the day and they look good too. Took a little while to break in and I need to wear a pair of socks that goes a little higher than the no shows to prevent rubbing around the ankle.

    Any of the Nike Flyknit running shoes models. Under Armour HOVr as well. Both dry very, very fast and are a pleasure to stand in all day.

    Columbia Drainmaker...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...TF8&th=1&psc=1 . I wore out the first pair and bought some more just like them but I can't seem to get the new ones broke in because I like the old ones so much.
    Don't worry Ma'am....
