RFC ===== Boat Shoes
wrote in message news  For years, I have worn the Rockport M5106 boat shoe, which they have now discontinued. Their new line of shoes are oil tanned and are *not nearly* as rugged as the old models. Additionally, I'm not dying to buy "Made in [Communist] China" apparel.... so, does anybody have recommendations for a rugged, yet comfortable boat shoe? TIA..... -- Crocs. ;-) |

I have two pair of Crocs. Great for wading into the salt water. Soon though they will be relegated to 'slipper' status once the snow builds up on the ground. |

A variation of rubber and plastic. Can you say sweaty and bacteria holding? No thanks. |

Stated advantage is they can be thrown in the washer to keep them fresh. Of course, it helps if you wash your feet on a regular basis. |

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand the Rockports are a better breeding ground for sweat and bacteria. |

And gosh knows all you folk in the Great White North need to do that - what with wearing swampers all the time. :) Swampers?? I have a pair of the high black rubber boots with the red soles. We call 'em Newfoundland sneakers... poking fun at a sister province. http://gssstore.zoovy.com/product/BB16?META=nextag-BB16 |

Soak in a Listerine solution. |
