Rubber boots - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ProfessorLongArms · 04-09-2020, 02:44 PM

I'm a fan of XtraTuff. I've seen in a lot of reviews that people will double up their socks and wear them around for a while to stretch them and break them in. Definitely hard to mitigate that soreness in the toes, especially on a long day out on the water.

Now, if you're talking about going out on a kayak, I've been working at this one for a while. I'd been wearing neoprene booties for the longest, but they just don't drain and dry from the initial wade out into the surf or provide the support I want.

I eventually settled on Merrill water shoe with a .5mil neoprene sock. Super comfortable, warm, and not as soggy as a neoprene boot.
