Fishermens feet - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I like the looks of that Fin Boot - wish they made it in the light gray though.

I've been wearing a pair of Speery water shoes I got from West Marine on sale. Look exactly like regular nylon tennis shoes, but there are two problems with them in a kayak - first is they are dark blue and feet sitting in the hot sun makes them a scorcher. Second is the low tops - so sun beats down on my ankles (wearing long quick dry pants) and I end up sunburned there unless I also wear nylon socks.

The boot solves the sunburn problem, but not the heat problem being only available in dark colors...

The Nike shoes come from the NikeiD custom shop. If you have $175 to $250 to spend, you can design pretty much anything and they'll make it.
