The molded Polyurethane footbeds ensure a comfortable fit, while the rubber outsoles deliver traction.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
I like that these shoes have a generous sole. Definitely a comfort benefit, particularly for longer walks — maybe bank fishing missions — but also consider the puddles common to boat ramps. Shoes with the right height will keep you above the moisture — even damp grass. Nothing worse than starting a day with wet shoes (and socks), so when you don’t need the waterproof gear, these Magellan shoe provides just enough “elevation” (couldn’t resist) to avoid the wet spots.
