Wear your fishing crocs/sandals with pride

Recommended Posts

Now i like a nice crocodile sandal when fishing and at night i leave them on in case of that quick run ( in both purposes at times) but i wear my socks with them but only in darkness. I have suffered much ridicule over the years but not anymore.

They are now fashionable in a sandal.

And for those that know me i am a fashion fishing icon celebrity

 

i know some of you are secret croc and sandal wearers so you can come out of the fishing closet and be proud!

shimano and TFC do one i think so there you go...

Keen Newport H2O sandals for me. Not bivy slippers but for clambering around in and out of water, they're hard to beat.

Crocs, no socks, are my main footwear year around. Great except on wet boat decks or a few other surfaces.

Gotta admit i usually walk round in bare feet and end up with squashed sweetcorn and the odd maggott but usually it's cleared up overnight by our creatures of the night and if not picked up by the ducks early doors.

I did try bivvy slippers but tended to lose them in my bag when i got back in and got the hump when i find them on floor all a long :(

I use cut down wellies with half an inch of the back left on so it fits snug ,i call them my slippers and they are very handy for slipping on or off in a hurry ,cost nothing except the time not to throw wellies with a split in the side in the bin and a bit of scissor weilding.

Great camping as well ,jump out of bed, drag on bathrobe ,pop on slippers and skip off to bog so you dont pong your tent out using the porta pottie for a dump

I've got a couple of pairs of those, I rarely wear anything else unless it's walking boots or wellies. I've been wearing one pair for work (instead of steel toe-capped boots which are never wide enough for me) for about five years now.

 

They are on their last legs now but an ordinary pair of boots will only last me a year or less at work - these are virtually indestructible.

A mate of mine smashed his hip and nearly drowned when he slipped on wet rocks wearing crocs...even made the TV, ....good old RNLI!

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!
