Is it a Croc?

An interesting story in the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/31/AR2006073100890.html

 

I've been told these make nice camp shoes... much lighter than Tevas and other sandals. Apparently one problem is they have a bad habit of slipping off on stream/river crossings but this can be easily rectified by rigging up bungy cord or the like that goes through the vents and around the ankles and keeps the croc from heading out on its own river adventure.

I tried them. One size was too tight. The next size was too loose to stay on. I was singularly unimpressed.

tourists wear crocs, locals were reefs (or rainbows)

(disclaimer: i've never tried them on or even looked at them up close)

i'm wearing some now!

 

i was surprised at the discontinuity in sizing but luckily the mediums fit me perfect.

 

they are super light, and comfortable to walk in. they are popular with nurses and other people who are on their feet all day.
