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.

Not too many tuna where I'm from. We have some rock cod up here
but they usually call them rockfish and they're not really a cod,
but they are pretty spiny. As far as cod goes, there's a lot more
ling and true cod. My fish of choice is salmon, trout and sometimes
stealhead. And crab, clams and oysters are plentiful around here
but you can't exactly call it fishing. It's more like what you do
on your way to, and coming back from, fishing.

Not versed in fishing? I have enough tackle to outfit half a dozen
guys and have been fishing all over the Pacific Northwest for 50
years. And for the most part, barefoot.

What I want to know, is if I go get one of them spendy pair of shoes (you
know the ones with the laces), will I really be better boater? I need all
th help I can get.

You have a lot of Tuna off Oregon and Washington. Google Albacore. There
are a bunch of charters running these days. Most are 30-60 miles offshore.
And I tow my boat to BC and fish out of Ganges and Tofino and we were going
to Rivers Inlet, but due to one boat sinking in Hells Canyon and me tearing
up a knee we postponed until next year. So familiar with Fishing in the
region.

Good on ya. I've done most of my boating in the Chesapeake Bay. It
doesn't get nearly as rought and tumble as Puget Sound. But, I've
slipped on my boat while barefoot. That's why I went back to boat
shoes. I also want shoes on my feet when I launch or retrieve my boat.
Yeah, I guess there is a third exception, but only if the
bottom is rocky.

Maybe it's the calluses.

JohnnyH has plenty of calluses...but they are between his ears.



What happened to your mission to improve this group, dummy? You post

Almost bought a pair of LandsEnd water shoes at Sears but by the time I
decided and went back...no more size 12s.


Size 12? (OMG) I'll bet you waterski barefoot.

Isn't that the regular size for grown men ? ;-)
I have problems finding the 12W too.

Not when you have an personal elevation of 5' 6". You are either too
short or you have too much turned under. BTW 5'6' is the perfect height
for a Rav 4 owner.

Check LLBean. I've found 14s and 15s there.
