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.



And also the number of potential fathers for his children.

Are those black soles non-marking?


Well, I would imagine so. Mine are not that model, mine are Nike but the
same idea and mine do not mark up boats...

Got a pair of these a couple months ago. I love 'em.

Again, very similar to mine except mine are of more water tolerant
material and are designed to dry in literally minutes after you come out
of the water. None of the material, including inside, absorbs water...
Also, mine have a plastic mesh between the open areas to protect against
pebbles, fish, sticks, and other nasties that can get into a more open
shoe... Seriously, go to a sporting goods store and look into these
hybrid sneaker/boatshoe/sandal type shoes, they provide protection,
comfort, real foot support, they stay on, dry in an instant, and pass as
regular sneakers in any off water situation...

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.

Nice troll attempt, dummy. I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of Crocs.

MotoMart and get a $2.00 pair of sun glasses.

Canadians? Centimeters?

We'd probably call it a size 2 1/2.
