Running Shoes--- designed to get wet, dry quickly, and not get funky.

Suggestions?
I'm a big fella 6'5" and 225 lbs. I walk/jog a mile with my pup every dry morning but would like to continue the routine when it is raining.
I would also like to use the shoes when off shore fishing.
Do they make a good supportive running shoe that is designed to get wet?

Sorry but I can't offer advice until i'm assured you have a "salt life" sticker on your truck.

I've got some teva water shoes I wear while kayaking. They are like tennis shoes, but dry quickly. I wear them to avoid blisters on feet and numbness from bracing on rudder peddles. Wore them for 64 hours straight in river water and never had issues with smell or blisters
I'd think you could run in them unless you're going crazy distances
Edit: They'd work well for the fishing part for sure

Merrel makes "water" trail running shoes.

Columbia drainmakers aren't bad if you are only going a mile each morning. I have run 3 miles in them before and they started hurting my feet.

Saucony Kinvara Runshield are my go to rain running shoe. Super light and don't get too hot like other waterproof shoes do.

Stick your shoes directly under the refrigerator door.

Considering you supposedly sweat 8-12 ounces just through your feet when running 5+ miles I would say any shoe designed for running will work.
Running shoes will have a primarily mesh upper, when you take them off loosen the laces real good and they dry out within hours

In other words average size for the OT.

Meh, I've been around a lot of guys on the OT/OB and I'm usually noticeably larger than most.
I only included that info incase it made a difference in the shoe design. IDK, I'm not a runner in general, I'm prone to recurrent plantar fasciitis, and have a bad knee so I need a shoe that provides plenty of cushion.

I have a pair of Asics running shoes I wear for mowing, washing cars, general yard work, et al. Mesh uppers - gel sole. They've seen several years of rough duty and are still in pretty good shape.

Look for a pair of trail runners. Due to the padding, most running shoes are not going to be great at drying quickly. Therefore, you may want to look for shoes that have a Goretex membrane (GTX) to prevent water from getting inside in the first place.
Brooks, Salomon, and Vasque all have decent options.
The other suggestion would be a pair of minimalist shoes as their wall construction is typically some sort of mesh as opposed to cloth and padding.
The New Balance Minimus or the Merrell Bare Access could be good options.

I don't know of a good supportive running shoe designed to dry quickly.
I don't wear sneakers fishing because of the marks they leave on the boat. Hope it's your boat.
I just wore out a pair of Brooks Dyad's and those have been the most comfortable shoes I've found in a very long time.

Better make sure you get non-marking soles. Most running shoes aren't. If your boat deck is white, it wont be long with regular soles.

I agree non marking soles is a must

I'm in the "any running shoe will do" camp.
I wet wade in an old pair of trail runners and just throw them in my truck bed or on the porch to dry.
I would not go with the gore-tex versions of trail runners. Too hot. I only go that route if its a situation where wet feet will be a problem and I know they will stay wet without it.

I use the Altra for trails, adventure races and boating. Get dry in a hurry. Nice wide toe box if you've got duck feet like me.
