Best Flats Fishing Shoes??

What kind of shoes should I wear in the boat??

I get asked this question A lot................



  
Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfers

Features a shoe upper on a sandal bottom. Funky canvas slip-on with a bit of a twisted traditional look. Distressed visible seams. 

Sanuck sandals come in a bunch of different styles.. 

1. Extremely comfortable,  more comfortable then Crocs and a lot better looking.. 

2.  In the Lower Florida Keys, we rarely get out of the boat to wade fish.  However on the rare occasion, there are bonefish tailing in water we can not get the boat too,..  You may not want to step in with your brand new Adidas...   Sanucks will dry...

3. You can throw them in the washer...  Just like jeans, the get better looking with each wash..

4.  Very quiet in the boat..  Boat nose spooks sensitive fish like permit, bonefish , barracudas and even tarpon..   Hard soles, especialy very hard soled sneakers, make a tapping sound on the deck that spooks fish, just like tapping on an aquarium..  Not that big of a factor if you are on the casting platform and stay there..  But if you step down to grab a different rod..( example..try to swap the permit rod for the cuda rig) or your fishing partner is restless....   The fish are gone..  I see it happen.   A lot..

5. Full coveradge from the sun...  No Croc spots or wierd sandal sun burns..

6. Chicks dig em..


Bare Sole Sandals  on Big Pine Key carries many brands and styles of sandals and
flip flops for women, men and children.

Speaking of women...  If you come down on your fishing trip with a buddy, don't forget to bring your wife or girl friend back a gift....

Have you ever heard her say "I have too many shoes."


Don't forget your buddy that got up at 5:30 am to drive you to the airport, loaned you his camera and fed your dog while you were gone..
