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

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
