Crocs in the backcountry?

[Roofer1]

I've hunted with a VERY proficient guide in New Mexico for elk and that's all he wore. The outfitter joked that if Josh ever straps in the back I better be prepared to run.

Crocs are like having a stove in your tent. You have no idea what you're missing till you try it...

I did twice, but once I switched to vivo trackers there was no need to keep bringing them.

Got to have the adjustable back-strap crocs.

Yes it's a must. Soooo nice to slip those on at the end of the day

Love crocs with the adjustable strap.

I don’t do very many backcountry hunts anymore but I would definitely have a pair of crocs for camp shoes. I wouldn’t use them for stream or river crossings though and I would prefer a sturdier shoe for that. Most of the time I just find the most shallow and narrow spot and go for it. I wear a good pair of gaiters and it works well. If it’s a long crossing and deeper then I would change out my boots and gaiters for a low sturdy shoe. I wear crocs all the time at home. They feel great after wearing work boots or rubber steel toe boots all day standing on concrete.

They are nice for allowing your feet to cool off and dry out, but that's about all I use them for. I have used them for water crossings, but I feel they are too slippery and would prefer to cross barefoot.

Always!

I back pack fish a lot, great getting in them and drying out at the end of the day. And their damn comfortable, though I have the generic wally world version which I call Cracks!

My sister in law got me a pair for Xmas. Dayglo Lime yellow so I can find them in the dark and not get them mixed up with my brother’s which are hot pink. She’s got a mean sense of humor. Faux Fur lined for cuddliness. They are the bomb in camp, but would not be caught dead in them elsewhere. With my brothers sense of humor he’ll probably see to it that I’m buried in them if I go first…..

I let my 3 year old pick my new ones. I’m not sure that was the way to go, but she’s pretty excited that we match.

Don’t know anyone who doesn’t take em.

Why not just clip them by the heel strap? It’s worked for me.

Last year in an alder jungle we found a lone crock that had the heel strap broken... Think that would be pretty depressing to drop your pack and go to grab your crocks and have only one still there....

I'm a paracord loop at the toe hooked through a strap, with a compression strap overtop guy as I think I'd cry if I lost one on the way in somewhere.

Do these come factory with the little plastic dogs? Or are you running a custom build there? I need something to break up The huge expanse of yellow plastic on my crocs. (Size 13 feet) So my question is where can I get some little plastic dog pins or whatever those are?

Somebody needs to make some little Elk pins, maybe pooh bears...

 

[EastHumboldt]

Those are straight from the factory out of luck with those size 13s- only available to 12 and they fit tighter than my previous 12s

I have 9.5 EEEE high volume feet. Crocs comfortably fit for a low price and good utility. I have hunted with them on, and frequently wear Crocs stream fishing. I can go up and down scree slopes in them like most folks in boots. Some crocs are more like tennis shoes with tons of holes in them, smaller than the standard big foots. Good for a lot of uses.
