are fine. Sneakers tend to leave a streak mark and depending on the sole carry sand onto the boat and or scratch the gunwales.

I always check the passengers shoes and ask to be removed if I feel they may damage or dirty the boat. I never had lip.

Sandals or flip flops are a no no. Very unsafe in wet conditions. There is a certain brand that has a metal insert in the sole so they can be use as a bottle opener, a huge taboo!

Believe it! I had women trying to go boating in high heels. Sorry honey!
