Fishing boots & shoes

Fishing boots & shoes

The importance of good footwear during fishing is often grossly underestimated. Fishing is a concentration game, in which everything has to be right. If you are halfway through the fishing day with cold or wet feet, you can forget this concentration. You must have experienced it yourself once. You have dressed warmly, only your feet get cold. No matter how thickly packed you are, these cold feet make the whole body get cold. It really saves a sweater in winter.

If your rubber boots slip during your walk along the water's edge, blisters are the result. There are fishing boots where you can use a buckle to adjust the shaft of the boot so that it closes well around the calves. Boots lined with neoprene also have their advantages. These neoprene boots isolate the feet from the rubber outside. The result is that your feet don't take over the cold from the outside. You will also be less likely to suffer from sweat in your fishing boot. Another big advantage of a neoprene inner lining is that it is 100% waterproof. For the winter there are also special warmth boots. Especially when you sit still, such a boot is indispensable. The removable warm lining isolates your feet from the cold outside again. These boots also have an extra thick sole to counteract the cold from underneath. 

People like to wear shoes in the boat. What applies to the boots also applies to special fishing shoes. Also these have to be 100% waterproof during a rainstorm. In the boat it can become slippery, which makes a non-slip sole a must. Many of these shoes nowadays also have a neoprene lining. If you are an active angler and you are not dealing with wet high grass, then a special fishing shoe is preferable. Just think of the ''streetfishing''. For the winter there are also heat shoes, with their specific properties.

Tip: Do you have doubts about the size? With these types of shoes and boots where you are not active, always take one size bigger. You can easily fill them with a thicker sock.
