| In another thread, somebody was denigrating Crocs. In reality, they
| make good boat shoes and are much better than my normal flip flops.
| You have to realize that in N. FL summers, wearing normal shoes would
| simply be stupid. The only prob I have with em is that you cannot
| easily walk in the water because they come off to easily but are much
| better than flip flops.
| Last week while at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in NC, I finally
| bought some Teva water shoes and I like em cuz they will not easily
| come off in the water and protect the side of the foot better than
| Crocs. I still wear the Crocs when I need to go outside quickly to
| chase down our crazed escape expert Catahoula dog. I suspect the
| Crocs will never stink as badly as the teva will eventually unless
| washed.

|You do flip the little 'strap' behind your heel when using crocs around the
|water eh?
|Around the house I just flip that strap forward.
|BTW...the Crocs aren't supposed to hold odor...unless you smell like Dingy
|Dan. Then all bets are off.

I've wondered about these:

Can't really find mine on line, but I wear something like this on the
water:

Goretex, mesh, drys very fast and provides pretty good protection...
