Smalliebigs Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I used to wear my jungle boots until they finally gave up the ghost. Now I use flats wading booties with a pair of socks. No more gravel ever. I actually have the ones from Academy that are linked to above. Perfectly happy with them. I agree I have been using these this year http://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/footwear/flats-sneaker.html with some neoprene sock and not one rock ever.....it's not the cheapest option but, if you don't like gravel in your shoes and need a sole that provides enough support to wade three or four miles over bad terrain these are great
Smalliebigs Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I wish Keen still made the Hood River Boots. The look like a great Ozark river gravel boot. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/keen-hood-river-water-boots-for-men~p~13949/ I have two pairs in size 11 I have been holding on to.....you are correct those are killer wading boots
MOsmallies Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Get these.... I promise you won't be sorry.... I've had em for 3 years. They've held up really well and I honestly have not gotten 1 single rock in them. Lightweight and not terrible looking. It looks like they may not be made anymore though, so you may need to try and find a pair on ebay. I paid $90 brand new 3 years ago, so the prices now are cheap... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sperry-Top-Sider-SON-R-men-size-9-M-Blue-Gray-White-Buckle-Slip-On-Water-Shoe-/221501920357?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item33928b1465
moguy1973 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I just saw these and they look like they would work great on slippery rocks that we have here on Ozark streams: https://www.austinkayak.com/products/14531/Five-Ten-Water-Tennie-Water-Shoe.html Kind of pricey but they don't really look bad for a water shoe. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
Flysmallie Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 For that price I would stick with the Simms.
