I use walking boots if just visiting a lake or to bait up. Fishing like wellingtons in winter and ridgemonkey shoes in summer. Also use the ridgemonkey at night especially if wet as their grip is brilliant

I have banged on about the traction mules for years on here and in the depth of twinter the nuptse boots brilliant purpose made fishing slippers and the traction ones have the grip so you dont slide all over the shop (I always have a pair in my bivvy ready to go)

Some of you got me worried me about my Adidas Terrex GTX. So I can blame you for this. Plus I am now a Joey, who just buys shiny things to remember what it's like to go fishing.

I will report back when I have worn them bleak fishing a few times.

Merrel gortex mostly, but I also have a pair of North Face Hedgehog mid boots if it's more sloppy and I don't want to wear wellies. Then I've just this week bought a pair of crocs for easy put on, for those in the dark sleeping bag exit rush jobs, but I'm liking them so much they've hardly been off my feet!..... I thought that made me an old fart, but apparently they're fashionable again - me having a pair is much to the disgust of my teenage son, because I'm 'ruining them' for him🤣

I use my green and white Adidas ZX750's during the summer and for driving to/from the lake. Got some Berghaus Goretex boots when it's a bit damp and Hunter zip wellies when it's really wet. Navitas or Diem slip ons for night time manoeuvres.

Thanks, I did not know about the code. 😂 It was that Korda bloke Gary Newmans fault really and I told him so. He put these horrible green 90 GTX up on Faceache last week. I'm a sucker so got some nicer ones 😂

You just made me look. Six pairs of GTX trainers at home now is a joke. Plus two pairs of GTX walking boots. UK made Brashers, Skarpas... Two Merrell Moab, two Salomon, Adidas Terrex and now those Nike. All are watertight. I'm having a clear out right now!

One pair of Moab I use for cutting the grass. Other pair are from the bottom of the fishing cupboard and are going in the charity bin! Salomons were dog walkers when raining, both are going in charity bin! Brashers are going in charity bin!

Don't mention normal trainers. There might actually be something far more seriously wrong with me regarding those I think 😂

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
