I told Makobob about the SoftScience shoes a few months ago. I said that he can share this code with any of his friends and family but he may have forgot. If you use the code: CaptainLowe you can get 10% off and an additional free shipping on any orders 49.99 and over.

Bob, have you tried just taking you shoes off when in the kayak? Might give it a little more boost of healing.

How many of you guys wear waders while on our boats? I've always thought of it as a drowning risk (turtle, water gets in waders, creates extra weight to make PFD ineffective.)

I've always just worn water friendly flip flops to unload/prep, and then taken them off once I launch. Just don't forget the sunblock.....

Does the water that may get into the waders weigh more that the water you'd be swimming in?
Not to be a wiseguy because I have wondered about this as well but if you were to fall in and get water in the waders it shouldn't be water in the waters weighing you down but would probably make it more difficult to swim.

Water weights the same in or out of your waders. But the waders themselves do have weight to them.

I agree 125% with ocean water healing wounds, HOWEVER the same doctors who want that foot emphatically say NO WATER CONTACT. That did not work for 4 months so it is time to do it our way. Baja salt water, lot's of air, SoftScience shoes and continue to treat and heal the foot. Tight Lines. And I did forget Buddha's discount.

www.softscience.com I like the new Fin 2.0, Terrafin, and the Fin Boot which are all new for 2017.

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.

KAI, just bleach them then wear them in the Baja sun for a while, between the sun and bleach they will lighten up.............

A whole year later I still wear nothing but Soft Science foot wear. I love the Fin 2.0
and will order the 3.0 when I get my prostetic next month. Tight Lines amigos.
