A friend of mine slipped in crocs whilst fishing on wet dew in the grass, open compound fracture to the ankle and as far as I know has never been able to fish since - be careful chaps!!!

I have Crocs but never use them for fishing,they are lethal.I got some of the navitas weaves after recommendations on here and use these now.I remember my mates Croc coming off in the water and shooting off across the lake,it made me chuckle

Wet grass is a challenge for any footwear.

You can buy slip resistant crocs which come with a thicker sole. You can pick them up on amazon

Could always have your waders rolled down to the booth, feet in and pull up one strap. Do the other as you play the fish. Won't be at risk of slipping about or getting wet.

they are only slip resistant on things like tiled floors they have ZERO grip on anything that requires a tread type pattern I even bought a pair of the Croc 4x4 in the USA they are no good either

TRUTH !
Navitas Weaves piss all over them in terms of grip

I like how you can fold the backs down on the weaves

So basically you wear the shoes your mum would do the garden in if it's dry and the shoes she'd wear for a walk round the park if it's wet.
Do the bingo shoes come with a testosterone shot due to the natural depletion when you put them on your feet and think they're socially acceptable among men?
I can excuse Gerry, laces and the like aren't much cop when you're 127.
Braders it's lucky you had kids early because you'll be a Jaffa by now old son

I think its obvious looking at the picture why the Navitas Weaves grip is so much safer by looking at the picture and surprisingly they ARE just as comfortable as my Crocs that I only use as slippers at home now
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
