What's the best type of footwear to use when fishing the jetties? I know some old school fisherman used old golf shoes. What do you jetty regulars use? Any suggestions?

I just go barefoot, but if you have city feet I guess you could try these...

You can just google 5 toe shoes, if you want to find a more budget model.

I wouldn't go barefoot even though I've seen people do it. You might end up stepping on a hook that was left behind by someone. I always wear pool shoes. They work out great for me! It doesn't matter if they get wet.

Thanks for the link! City feet haha far from that, just looking for something that good for gripping the rocks.

Crocs work great for packery jetties but can get abused fast if that's all you use and if you go often.

I alternate between crocs and magellan Neoprene Wading Boots
at packery. Sometimes I wear flip flops, and with my luck that's usually when I have to jump down the rocks before that fat trout gets swallowed by the rocks.

and Port A jetties require these:

Again, personal preference.
