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.

Hmm, my Crocs do not have that little strap. It would be very useful
too.
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.

The Mouse says it's perfectly OK for boys to wear Pink, as long as they
are "cool kids"...

Mikey, another member of RMR rides in some pink here and there. Last
race he wore Jessi's Pink socks and took first place so this time he
came with pink straps on his boots. He is 11 years old so I won't slap
him around too much.. Of course he is a "cool kid".

Rowdy Mouse Racing, Jessi is currently second place in the season
championship with her higest finish being second! Mikey is first in the
65 class/several wins, first in the 65 all class/several wins, and third
in the 85 class/one win. Billy, another teammate is in third in points
in the 85 class with several wins... RMR kicks ass, take that WAFA...

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.

Looneys waist.
