Always been a croc guy but might go with oofos this year. Wife swapped to them and they’ve actually made a difference with soreness.

I bring mine every year. Carabiner to the outside of the pack through the heel straps. Good for lounging around camp.

another vote for crocs. I remember watching a mountain hunting video and that they recommended taking like a water shoe/ trail runner hybrid, the one I tried was wet all the time never dried, was a pain to get on and off. One trip and went back to crocs.

I often wear Crocs fishing and can go across scree slopes with them like a mountain goat. I've also worn them hunting when I'm not dealing with that much up and down.

I have to say crocs may look ridiculous but are extremely comfortable. Looks mean nothing and function is everything

The holes in the crocs are for your dignity to drain out when wearing them

For icy Alaska winter hunts, or at least easy to slip on to go to the mailbox.

Yup. I think people get so fixated on finding the perfect most comfortable boot in the world that wont give them blisters. Thing is, if you are hunting and hiking hard enough, the best way to give your feet a break is to get them out of the boots for a bit. I use crocs for at camp or even just to throw them on for a quick glassing session after a long hike. At the very least just get them out of the boots and let em dry on a rock

When I started having PF issues and finally found a podiatrist, the first thing he told me to do,was pitch my crocs in the trash. I started Oboz Whakata Coast slip-on/recovery shoes… super supportive and comfortable. Give them a look

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.

The superior creek crossing method - especially for snot-slick moss covered river rocks - is merino wool socks and nothing else. Grip for days. Then wring em out, put back on your feet, then hike em dry.

Been there, done that, lots of times, until I stepped on something sharp, which really sucked for the next several days.

On this bear hunt some boys put on Crocs to wade a creek. They never put their boots back on. I jokingly called it "Croc Hunting"

Maybe a world record for "biggest Alaskan black bear killed while wearing Crocs" but somehow I bet someone got a bigger one in those things. I wore trail runner the whole time. Might have to find some Crocs...
