colin519 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Posted July 23, 2018 I use these http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/outbound-water-shoes-black-navy-men-s-1870389p.html#srp 10 bucks a pair, great in the water, keeps the sun off the top of your feet where burns are a killer. I'm with Iron on Crocs. Frankly on all sandals.

BassMan11 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Posted July 23, 2018 Big fan of them - Garage Crocs - Boat Crocs - Back door Crocs - Camping Crocs Although I will say, getting them wet with bare feet and then trying to walk is a nightmare.

I use the water shoes with my hiking boots https://www.scarpa.com/kailash-gtx when back packing. some people use the trail shoe, some sandals, crocs. i like to have boots to deal with mud and carrying a boat and swimming/camping/boating/fishing are perfect for the water shoe. i don't think i could carry a boat over an obstacle in a croc but the watershoes are fine. inow i can see fishing in crocs but i'd want them in realtree or hunters orange so everyone knew they were chosen on their technical merits.

JoshS Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 Funny post! Crocs are the best shoes ever invented IMO. My wife hates that I wear them everywhere lol. In my opinion all spring/summer casual footwear should be the same material! Nothing beats the breathability other than no shoes at all, the comfort and that you can run them under the sink for a quick clean and they dry in 5 mins. The first pair I had ($5 knockoffs) lasted me 10 years -I thought they'd never die and used to preach to my city counterparts that they're the shoes that last 100 years and everyone should wear them, who cares what they look like - until I wore through the big toe area on the sole from putting 100000 miles on them. I like the softer plastic knockoffs more as I can control my TM speed easier through the shoe. Best shoes ever invented. I generally wear them from the first spring trip until mid fall, colder days just add merino socks. I really like moosebunks idea of neoprene socks for a rain shoe!
Boyd Posted August 5, 2018 Report Posted August 5, 2018 Never had a pair, never will, buddy had them for years and aching knees. Told him about DAWGS which you can get in Canada and he got a pair. Knees are still a little grumpy but he has noticed a vast improvement. They have lots of styles and colours for all family members, (golfers too lol ). Wife has six pairs for around the house, garden and even work. Check it out.
ecmilley Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 UGreat.boating.shoes and.real.crocs float big. Plus when.it Flys out a 70mph. I use em keep regulnar shoes in truck.
Rattletrap2 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Well, I have to admit that I have several pair. I'm sportin the camo versions right now! I have two pairs of these. They work great for getting in the water at boat ramps. No problem with wet grass either. Love 'em!
_al87_outdoors Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) As a lady angler, my opinion crocs were once a horrible fashion but they have excellent purpose. Lightweight, dry quick, come in many styles now... mine are a boat shoe and supposedly they are excellent for your back and stability ... can’t go wrong in my opinion ?

OhioFisherman Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 If you like them it may pay to stock up? There could be changes coming? https://fox8.com/2018/08/09/crocs-closing-last-of-manufacturing-facilities-ceo-resigning/

Their price point wasnt too friendly when you can grab a pair from the dollar store.
OhioFisherman Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Walmart velcro fasten track shoes and walmart flip flops were always good enough for me, I did buy decent work shoes and boots because at times I chose pounding the concrete dock for 10 hours over being stuck in a truck for up to 15 hours. LOL, I save a lot of money these days on shoes, I don't wear them!
jimmer Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Posted August 9, 2018 I bought a pair of Birkenstock all plastic sandals and they are great. A little more expensive than the knock off crocs though.
Sterling Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Love me some crocs. Saw my dad snowblowing the driveway in -10 weather in crocs once. He loves them too.
