Surf booties
Ok so I don't want to wear waders to fish the surf during summer so I was wondering if you guys think there is a difference between these boots or the regular ones that look like sneakers and have a thicker sole...

apparently these give you more "control" when it comes to balance.
What do you guys think?
Thanks and happy Holidays!

All I can say is don't do as I do. :rolleyes:
I use pair of cheap neoprene 'float tube' booties..... they suck
My buddy wears Cabela's 'flats sneakers' or what ever they're called
Big difference.
Next time for me.... surplus jungle boots

well, I intend to get them one day but just for protection not because of the water temperature. I just couldn't force myself to wear waders to go to the beach.

go to a SCUBA shop and buy dive booties. Less $$ and mine haven't worn out in at least 5 years of diving, float tubing, or mud wading (I use felt on rocks)

For beach fishing in the summer, I use Keen H2 sandals. They work great on anything except oyster bars and sharp rocks. Plus, they look a lot better than wading booties.

A lot of guys fishing Hawaii really like the Sea Sports Neoprine Tabis. They have a split toe to keep them in place on your foot and felt bottoms which afford better traction vs. the rubber soles on rocks such as jetties etc. They're about $35.

Martin,
I'm in NJ surf so in spring and fall waders are almost a must have. But in summer I wear the same sandle I would normally use while on the beach. Shimano has a decent and boat friendly soled sandle for under 50.00 bucks. I like the closed toe to protect from errant flies and lures.
