Are the Strike Bluefin Lace Sneakers the Ultimate in Fishing Footwear?

Strike’s Bluefin Lace Sneakers push fishing footwear into a higher-performance category, based on a May field test that replaced the reviewer’s usual flip flops for a full day on the water. The brand was founded by Stephen Palmer, a shoemaker with about fifty years of experience, and is the official footwear partner of the IGFA, donating a portion of every sale to aquatic conservation, research, and education. Sustainability is central, with Seaqual Yarn comprising 10% upcycled marine plastic and 90% post-consumer recycled polyester, plus the Solum plant additive. Packaging features Dennis Friel’s fish-art design to emphasize the marine theme.
