But since this is rec.boats and this thread is titled
boat shoes, like I said previously, my vote is for bare
feet. What in the hell do you need shoes for on a boat?
Unless you're in Alaska.


Wet gelcoat is slippery. Decent boat shoes grip the surface much
better than bare feet. At least, that's why I wear boat shoes on the
boat.


I was raised on Puget Sound, and with the exception of
being on a sail boat heeled over in a stiff wind, I've
found no use for shoes on a boat. With the other exception
being around the end of salmon season.
