Yes. I wear shoes and socks.
Yes. I wear water friendly footwear such as Crocs with socks
No - but I do wear water friendly footwear such as Crocs or reef shoes
No. I wear no footwear.
I wear shoes (eg runners or sand shoes) but no socks.
I am usually legless when I go fishing so it does not apply to me.
WTF you guys, shoes ,socks, what next matching shirts like the nancy boy game fishermen?? a suit and tie? Jesus, it is fishing, it is supposed to be cold and miserable, wet and smelly, then hot as hell in the summer, fried to a crisp because you forgot your hat! bloody Queenslanders, how soft are ya's?
I wear sand shoes and socks at night winter time to keeo my feet warm then in summer to keep the sand flys and mozies off
It's just barefoot for me....have to admit that I haven't done a cold night fish out of the boat though. Uggies are starting to sound good.

Uggies in winter. Thongs in summer.I will give some proper running type shoes a go offshore though. As previously posted the back and legs do ache after a long day struggling to stay upright. I have (or had) a mate that used to frequent this site. Malolo (Bucko) RIPwho was an office bound man by day but would never wear shoes outside of work. I remember a trip down to Evans head last winter where there was some morning frosts and you would watch in amazement as he crunched his way around the yard bare feet then into the boat without batting an eye.
His funeral was the only one I have been to where they requested everyone de shoe themselves before entering
Makes for a funny site.
I can vouch for the Crocs style footwear. I wear cheap knockoffs and they are comfortable, safe, grip well, and provide sun protection. You can walk in water with them then just hop in the boat. I just use them as slip ons by taking the strap off.
Try them once and you will never use anything else

I knew it Paulo! Even thongs with sox were better than that.
Do you evre remember maybe your childhood gang getting up to just a teensy bit of mischief and trying to run away without being caught and some idiot had let the neighbourhood dork join in and he was wearing plastic sandals and the "snack-smack-smack-smack-smack" sound of his running feet on bitumen let the authorities straight to your hideout?
Phew.... I gotto see somebody about this.... Now, Crocs eh....
On the chilly winter mornings I wear Uggly Volleys, a hybrid ugg boot with dunlop volley soles. Otherwise sandles or nothing for me!
So many fish, so little time...

They are the go even with wet socks, no more damage to feet and they give grip as good as the old dunlop volleys. Plus if you step off the concrete ramp into a foot of mud they stay with your foot, not like crocs and thongs.

In my experience the neighbourhood dork could never keep up,and always dropped us in it.We used to go for walksalong a private trout stream,twice our favourite bozo dropped us in it with the keeper
I think he works for MI5 now
Paulo.
you can always pick the pommie tourist before he opens his mouth..long socks and sandals on...and i think most of them wear that attire for life.
Or crocs.

cold night, drink more port, you won't feel your toes.
cold morning crack a can of beer.
if you toughen you're feet up, they won't get cut (badly) on shells or glass.
Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.
