Preston Innovations HydroTech Clogs

Stay cool, comfortable, and sure-footed throughout the warmer months with the Preston Innovations HydroTech Clogs. When the temperature rises, heavy leather boots or sweaty trainers simply won’t cut it on the bank. Engineered specifically for the active angler, these clogs offer the ultimate combination of ultra-lightweight support, rapid drainage, and bankside versatility, making them the perfect choice for summer match sessions, pleasure trips, and wading.

Constructed from an exceptionally comfortable, high-grade compound material, the HydroTech Clogs provide full orthopedic-style support for your feet, reducing fatigue during long days standing on concrete pegs or rough platforms. Unlike standard casual clogs, these are built for rugged environments. They feature an abundance of integrated ventilation and drainage holes, ensuring that water instantly escapes when you step into the margins to land a fish, while keeping your feet cool and dry in blistering heat.

Cleanup is effortless—simply dunk them in the lake or rinse them down with a hose at the end of the day, and they will dry in a matter of minutes.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team

Pro Tip: These clogs are an absolute game-changer for the dedicated commercial match angler who likes to “wade” to get those extra few yards or clear bankside reeds. Keep them slipped on at your seatbox throughout the day to keep your feet cool.

If you need to step off your platform into the water to net a big carp or position a keepnet, you can do so instantly without worrying about ruining your expensive leather footwear. Just make sure to snap the heel strap back over your ankle before stepping into mud to prevent the suction from pulling the clog off your foot!

Ideal Applications

• Warm-Weather Bankside Wear: Ideal for high-summer fishing when traditional boots are too hot, restrictive, and heavy.

• Shallow Wading: Perfect for stepping into shallow margins to clear weed, throw out bait, or safely land big fish.

• Slippery Commercial Venues: Excellent for safely navigating wet timber platforms, slimy concrete ramps, and rocky towpaths.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are these clogs true to size, or should I buy a size up?

The Preston HydroTech Clogs are generally true to size and designed with a slightly wider, relaxed fit to maximize comfort and airflow. If you fall between sizes or prefer to wear them with thick waterproof socks on cooler mornings, we recommend moving up to the next full size.

Will the soles protect my feet from sharp rocks or gravel?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike cheap lifestyle clogs, the HydroTech version features a reinforced, thickened sole unit. This provides a robust barrier against sharp gravel, jagged stones, and hidden debris on the lake bed, ensuring you don’t bruise the soles of your feet while walking or wading.

Do they float if they accidentally fall in the water?

Yes. Due to the ultra-lightweight, air-infused material properties used in their construction, these clogs will float on the surface if they happen to slide off your platform or boat, allowing you to easily retrieve them with a landing net.
