You're kidding, right?
If I were wearing Crocs, alone in my own home, I'd
embarrassed myself. For one thing, I don't wear bright
pastel colored shoes. For another thing, I don't wear
plastic bright pastel colored dorky looking shoes.

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.

But hey, if they work for you... whatever blows your
skirt up.
Fish hooks and fish spines are hard on bare feet.
You have fish spines on the deck of your boat? Are
you eating the fish raw and throwing their bones
wherever they land? Are you not strong enough to
get them past the gunwale?

Kidding aside... it sounds like either you're a
commercial fisherman, messy, or take lots of alcohol
with you when you're fishing. But then again, I
guess I know plenty of people that qualify for all
three.

Never drink on the boat. And when a rockcod gets on the deck, those
dorsal spines will do a number on you. Like a Sculpin is part of the
scorpion fish family. I use boots when fishing tuna, as there are hooks
and flapping tuna on decks at times. Seems as if you are not very versed
in fishing.

Got to be damned careful with tuna, they'll break a leg in a heartbeat!


I did not know tuna had legs.
