Merrell used to make a goretex low hiking shoe that I bought on sale and wore into the ground. They still make them, but they want $150 for a pair, they had elastic "speed laces" and were some of the most comfortable shoes I have had in years. I currently have a pair of Patagonia hiking boots that are the best hiking boots I have owned.

Merrell makes a slip on walking shoe, about 80 bucks, no breakin comfortable good all around shoe. I have several pair and use them for everything you listed plus they are my go to boating shoe. Also come in wide sizes which is another reason.

I gave up on all weather outdoor shoes. I have walking shoes, hiking shoes, hiking boots(several) and winter walking boots(thinsulate lined hunting boots) and of course true cold weather boots. Cold, wet, sore feet suck and can make any activity miserable. Better to get something tuned to the activity.

Looking for a new pair of around-town shoes. Walking the dog in winter, mowing the grass, going to the grocery store. Anybody have any that they really like?

From winter to summer is a hard order to fill with one shoe. You may need two to be happy. I bought a pair I thought was going to work like that from Cabala's but the waterproof Gore-tex liner was just way to hot in the summer.

These are my absolute favorite. I've worn these for the past 5-6 years--when one pair starts getting worn out, I'll get another pair. I think I currently have 3 pairs.

Merrel all the way !!! After 3 spinal surgeries, severe stenosis, leg weakness and pain, these are the only shoes I can walk in...Jungle mocs.  You can get them for around $70 everywhere. Great on ice and snow, too. I have all 3 pairs.  I love 'em.  :)

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
