For years, I have worn the Rockport M5106 boat shoe, which they have
now discontinued. Their new line of shoes are oil tanned and are *not
nearly* as rugged as the old models. Additionally, I'm not dying to
buy "Made in [Communist] China" apparel.... so,

does anybody have recommendations for a rugged, yet comfortable boat
shoe? TIA.....

Crocs. ;-)

Yup. I have two pair of Crocs. Great for wading into the salt water.
Soon though they will be relegated to 'slipper' status once the snow
builds up on the ground.

PCCR shoes for boating? A variation of rubber and plastic.

Can you say sweaty and bacteria holding?

No thanks.

A lot of the nurses now wear them around the local hospital.
Stated advantage is they can be thrown in the washer to keep them fresh.
Of course, it helps if you wash your feet on a regular basis.

I have both Rockports and Crocs. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to
understand the Rockports are a better breeding ground for sweat and
bacteria.

They don't trap bacteria, and have no odor in the 4 months that I've had
them. That's what they're known for.
