About Strike

Made by anglers, for anglers. Discover more about our Strike story.

We design performance-driven shoes using innovative materials that deliver comfort, grip, and durability. Strike is the official footwear partner of the International Game Fish Association.

The strike origin story

Strike began with a conversation amongst a close-knit fishing community. Angling is a technical and demanding sport – so where is the equipment to accommodate that? One such member of that community happened to have 50 years’ experience as a shoemaker. He had sustained many injuries as a lifelong fisherman and sought to set a new standard for angling footwear that would enable optimal performance when out on the water.


Created by Stephen Palmer, expert shoemaker, seasoned angler, and owner of Overland Shoes – Strike brings decades of footwear design and manufacturing expertise to the world of angling. Along with a team of craftsmen and materials specialists, he constructs cutting-edge footwear designed for enhanced performance, comfort and durability. Strike supports the conservation, research, and education work of the IGFA as its official footwear partner.

  • “One of the stand-out features is the support they offer. Long hours on your feet, often in challenging environments, require footwear that can handle it all. Strike shoes provide that support while remaining exceptionally comfortable.”
