    I just wear running shoes down to about the 30s.
    I believe good socks, and keeping them dry is the trick.
    Muck boots after 30.

    For those guys wearing Muck boots (or similar), just make sure you can shuck them off using just your feet. When they get full of water, they can weight a guy down pretty bad. If you fall overboard (especially if you aren't wearing a PFD), being able to shed those boots using just your opposite foot could mean the difference between life and death.

    Many lifetimes ago, I took Lifesaving as a college PE class (it was fun and I had to take a PE anyway). One of the exercises in class was to dress up in some kind of outfit that wasn't made for being in the water and jump in the pool - then try and save yourself. I chose to dress as a duck hunter. I was good enough in the water to shed the excess weight and save myself. Many of my classmates weren't so good and had to have help.

    Insulated Danner boots with a gortex liner will keep you warm and dry.

    If it gets cold enough for me to have to wear pair of 350 dollar boots to go crappie fishing I'll stay home and watch Gunsmoke. Couse you and Fur and some others got big money. We school teachers are Po Folks!

    Not to derail this thread but if you think you will have the presence of mind to kick your boots off or anything else for that matter you have never fallen in cold water. Wear a life jacket. Get ahold of the boat as quickly as possible and slide to the back of the boat and climb the engine.

    I can't believe it but I'm shopping for fur(flying) crocs.

    Only reason I have a pair coach is as an US Army infantryman I was issued them!

    You fellas wearing waiters are very brave. If you fall overboard it’s gonna feel like concrete buckets tied to you. Use to know a guy that duck hunted and crossed wheeler lake in a canoe with chest waiters. ��. I’m no expert and I don’t mean to offend anyone but please refrain from doing this
