That's fantastic.
To the OP, just wear flip flops to the boat and go barefoot on the boat.
The worst thing you can do is buy a new pair of shoes and wear them for the first time on the boat. They will chew up your feet and you won't be comfortable.
I wouldn't recommend crocs, they can be slippery when fish slime and water get in them ... Causing issues when fighting fish.
Just IMHO.

I find this is way more of an issue in flip flops or bare feet. Flip flops are death traps on a boat. The deck gets slimy quick when you're catching fish, and that back of the ankle strap has saved me from busting my arse countless times.

Agreed completely. Which is why I was gonna pull the trigger now and wear them in a bit around the house over the next few weeks...

Never crocs. As mentioned, slippery as hell.
I go barefoot 99% of the time. The last trip we took though I wore "boat shoes" due to some arch issues. Good grip and I was pretty happy. I kicked them off from time to time.

deep-sea fishing
Using this term makes me think you aren't much of an angler. Tennis shoes will be fine

Wish I never saw that.

Boat shoes.
They have some really comfy margaritaville ones at Sam's club for a good price

Those Olukais look great. How's the traction with those shoes?
I find with most other shoes, my feet slip inside the shoe, the issue isn't with boat to shoe traction.
Posted on 5/20/16 at 11:44 am to stewie
My feet slip a little in them but I have narrow feet so it's to be expected with any slip-ons.

Always barefoot from the moment I get on a boat. Keep your shite clean and you won't get a hook in the foot. I mean if it's a freak accident that a hook ended up on the ground right as you stepped, then the same thing can happen if a hook ended up between the gun wale and your crotch.
Crocks get slippery inside if the shoe. That's the problem for me.

Sperry, Sebago, or Merrell water shoe.
