kayak shoes 
Looking for something to replace my Tevas as my primary boat shoes. Suggestions? And if possible links?

Re: kayak shoes 

Those zip up wading shoes that are $19.99 at Bass Pro are great.  I have three pair.  One pair to go over breathable waders and interchange other two when fishing the Oyster Bars.

Re: kayak shoes 

If you want to stick with a sandal type shoe I highly recommend the Keen sandals as they offer more protection especially around the toes.

Re: kayak shoes 

I really like the Keen Newports.  I have had three pairs of Teva's over the past few years.  They are very comfortable but the straps pull out from the base of the sandal and the velcro allways comes loose.   The Keen's are great..........lots of ventalation, good traction,  and the toe is protected.

Re: kayak shoes 

You get what you pay for.  I got a pair of Teva Protons at WRO just before the camping trip.  Since then I have worn them in hot weather, in sand, on oyster bars, running through knee deep mud chasing after fiddler crabs, and in the kayak.  I do not have one complaint.

Re: kayak shoes 

I like my Timberland Plunge Tech shoes. They are a $70 shoe, but I found them at Overstock.com for $29. I need a big shoe because of wide feet, and these were thonly ones that would fit me at size 14. I have seen the smaller sizes in the Sportsmans Guide flier for real cheap. Extreemly confortable, and don't get funky like my sandal shoe when worn all day. It is worth checking out!

Re: kayak shoes 
I love my crocs except for one thing - Tried wading the Lynnhaven inlet and the mud kept sucking mine off of my foot! Something that zips up like Suber suggested or has serious straps would be my recommendation.

Re: kayak shoes 

with wading shoes that go over breathable waders, does that make it waterproof? or do your feet get wet
