Hi all, went fishing yesterday it was a lovely day, my problem was I was wearing my welly boots and my feet felt like prunes had to take my socks off and leave my boots open,. Can anyone suggest a good summer shoe for the Summer. Thanks for any advice.

How simple do you want it?
I usually wear my trainers in the summer, although I do put my combat boots on when I walk around the lake.
If it is warm, and I'm on a decent grassy swim I will actually go barefoot.
I'm not a flip-flop or crocs type person.

Sorry Nick, but it's got to be Crocs!! I used to go in trainers or boots (dependant on conditions) and sleep in a pair of lightweight Navitas sliders (no faffing around at night getting your shoes on). But now I've evolved - weather and conditions permitting - just go in Crocs and sleep in them. Done a couple of 24 hour sessions lately in them and they're fine.
Obviously, if conditions are wet, I'll revert to trainers or boots and sleep in the sliders.

La Sportiva Boulder X approach shoes. Completely unnecessary for fishing but great for walking and climbing trees.

I use crocs when it's dry. Otherwise it's trainers or a pair of Nash waterproof boots.

Navitas Weaves
as comfy as Crocs but far far superior grip and a doddle to slip on in the night with the backs folded down they are brilliant

Went last week for 4 nights and didn't change out of my Nike Sliders & thermal socks. Lovely.

Like the look of those, are they worth a hundred quid? All day comfortable for walking and driving.

They are designed for walking up to rock climbing routes so they are very robust. They are extremely comfortable because they mould around your foot as a result of the lacing system. However, they are not waterproof. They are somewhere between a trainer, a walking boot, and rock climbing shoes. I think they are well worth £100 but I also do scrambling/hill walking in them as well.

Just get a pair of walking boots and avoid the carp tax. For summer use, the desert boots are really good. Look on Military 1st, they have decent selection. I treated myself to a pair of Lowa desert boots last year, same gear the troops use - just awesome. Crocs and flip flops? Fishing? Besides looking a bit gay, you gotta be kiddin, what with mozzies on the hunt, Sod that.

We're going fishing, not out on a military tour. When the weathers nice the last thing I want to be doing is wearing boots
give me the sliders every day of the week!
