Shimano Evair
Shimano's Evair boots are comfortable, light and dry. For most of us, calf-high boots are overkill when we are fishing from a boat. If the water in your boat is higher than your ankles, you have bigger things to worry about than wet feet. Evair boots are warm and as comfortable as a pair of slippers. Priced at $70 in 2009, these boots are great for fishing all day long.
Viking VW38
Viking's VW38 Gator Marine Boot is made for serious marine work, and that includes saltwater fishing. Tested in Alaska, these 15-inch boots are insulated with a liner that keeps you warm in temperatures as low as -15 C and have a strap around the top of the boot to help keep water out. The Gator Marine Boot retails for $95 as of 2009.
Rugged Shark
Deck boots from Rugged Shark are made with comfort in mind. Designed for the 2009 season with a kicker on the boot heel for easy on and off, Rugged Shark boots come with arch support and feature a removable foot bed. Like the Evairs, Rugged Shark deck boots are comfortable enough to wear for a full day of fishing and boating, and are priced at $70.
