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. |

My TEVAs walk to the washing machine when they can't stand how they smell. Then, they dry themselves out on the porch. |

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. |

Now as far as color is concerned, I am enough of a curmudgeon to not care what anybody thinks so I think pink would be useful in finding em in dark water (they're gonna go into the water sooner or later). Mine are black and I nearly lost one at Cedar key. |

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... -- Wafa free since 2009 |

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. Casady |
