The original Marlin gave Rugged Shark a sound reputation for making shoes that offered anglers performance and comfort. Its latest model, the Marlin 2, retains the popular features of the original, such as the leather and mesh uppers, padded collar and interior, thick midsoles, Shark Grip outsole and speed-lacing system. What’s different about the Marlin 2 is the addition of the company’s Aquaire Drainage System, which uses a foot bed that doesn’t absorb water. Instead, any water that enters soon exits through the vented Aquaire arch support. Once the water has drained, the system lets air flow back into the shoe, so your feet and shoes dry extra fast. $79.99; For more information, visit www.ruggedshark.com.
