We made a quick trip back to Bass Pro Shop a couple days after our first visit to buy some new water sandals. I'd tried them on while there the first time and after thinking about how comfortable they were, made for wading, and the price wasn't too much (especially compared to Teva, Merrell, Keen and Columbia - all of which we have) decided to go back and get them.
We prefer to wet-wade when we river fish and a good pair of water sandals make for a good day of fishing. These are the Bass Pro Shop brand RedHead Finley River Sandals. On the inside of the straps they're lined with neoprene and seem to have good support. Rick got a pair also because you cannot have too many pairs of wading sandals.

....am expecting my uber expensive orthotic flip flops in a week's time... hand made to my foots needs. Woo hoo?
ReplyDeleteThere is a well-known 'rule of the river' that strictly prohibits flip-flops on the river. I remember a woman who didn't know any better wore her flip-flops into the river and almost immediately lost one in the mud. The other had what we call a blowout = it broke apart. Then she was barefoot and couldn't go anywhere. No flip-flops! If you've ever been stuck in soft mud, up to your ankles, you'll know that you have to have shoes or boots that will stay on your feet. ;-) Keep the flip-flops in the city.
