Default Boat shoes

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.


I don't know how they would rate in the boat, but if you have to step
into the water to launch and retrieve the boat, the slime would rinse
right off.
