Ginger9991 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hey guys, So i usually just wear an old pair of Nike trainers but they are now knackered,,,So i need some new footwear for the bank, I have a pair of Skeetek boots but for running out the bivvy at night i cant get on with them. I have seen the fox waterproof boots that look alright....Anyone recommend any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Carp tackle firms don't make shoes/boots. They just put their badge on stuff from China and sell them at 5 times what they're worth. If you want decent boots go to a firm that makes boots mate. Merrel or Salomon or someone like that. oscsha and welder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At night I normally slip into my trainers, or in winter, often my combat boots, it is easier than trying to get my feet into fishing boots, having feet stuck halfway down the boot as I try to get to a take, or even somehow managing to get them on the wrong feet.😖 During the day though I wear a pair of TFG Extreme boots, somehow TFG ran out of stock of the plain green ones, so for the same price sent me the Realtree or camouflage pattern. https://www.totalfishinggear.co.uk/shop.cfm/tfg-clothing/boots/39/4528 When I walk to the swim or around the lake I will wear my trainers or combat boots, depending on how wet it is. Trainers ok in summer, but rainy autumn and winters can be a bit cold and muddy around the lake, so on go the combat boots. Mine have a lace up front, but also a zip down side, so at night I can slide into them easily. The worst thing for getting cold feet is them getting sweaty and wet. If they sweat, then the damp gets into your socks, making them cold later. So my advice is when you get to your swim, change your socks, even your boots, especially if the weather is cold.

760 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 We use Muckers, wait for the sales as can be very pricey. Keep your feet warm when stood in cold water for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
