| Last week while at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in NC, I finally

| 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

That looks like a 'duck shoe' or duckys.
I like the easy slip on/off. If I had to tie the laces each time. I'd
look for a better fitting type of water shoe.
Almost bought a pair of LandsEnd water shoes at Sears but by the time I
decided and went back...no more size 12s.
Size 12? (OMG) I'll bet you waterski barefoot.
That's nothing...#2 son wears size 14.... that's about the circumference of
Looneys waist.
It's well known you aren't a smart man, but where do you come up with
bizarre **** like this?
Canadians? Centimeters?
We'd probably call it a size 2 1/2.
