Lightest camp shoe?

[Anozira]

Walmart crocs I’ve got down to 9.9oz for a pair of size 10.


As an alternative I also have a pair of Sanuks that are 11.7oz

Frogg Toggs Skippers replaced my Crocs.

Interesting. Do you have a weight on them?

No but they are lighter than my size 12 crocs, very lightweight.

I like the fact they have laces on them.

Would you mind weighing them? I'd be very curious to know if they are worth the shipping into Canada.

I will try and put them on the scale tonight. They are lighter than Crocs.

15.9 oz for size 12. This is a postal scale un calibrated for full disclosure.

Awesome. Thanks very much.

Here’s the weights on the Wally Sox...11.5 for the pair.

You've got quite a bit of gunk, dirt, and nastiness in those. I'm sure they were initially lighter but my biggest issue is the fact that this is a $60 shoe and that particular pair looks like a pack of wild rabid dogs have been tugging away at em for weeks on end, followed by 1000 super buff guys attempting to tear em in half as part of a strong man contest, dropped out an airplane at 100k feet a million times then ran over by a steam roller until the ground beneath em couldn't take anymore.

also a lot of folks think hey I can wade a stream with my "camp" shoes too- not likely

if I know for certain there will be no wading involved (on a long backpack hunting trip, sometimes hard to know where you're going to end up)- I might opt for a flipflop or the like, if not a lightweight trail runner sounds much more appealing

I lost a croc once why I switched to the Frogg Toggs. Dry quick as well feel like a running shoe.

i use crocs, i have crossed streams and rivers with them on stone sheep hunts and moose hunts, slap them bad boys in 4x4 and off ya go!

Picked up a pair of Arcteryx Norvan SL 2's on sale last week.
Size 10.5 is 13.5 ounces for the pair and these are actual functioning shoes. Price was steep but I figured I could use these in a lot of situations.

Report back with your findings please sir! I've been looking at those

I've been taking them along on backpacking trips and scouting this summer. Highly recommend them!

I've run Sockwa X8's for a few years, when I'm backpack hunting. About 6oz for the pair. There is some swimming website that sells them cheap. Definitely more functional than a flipflop. Still pretty breathable.

I just picked up a pair of Frog Toggs Skipper shoes as well. 14.7oz for the pair of size 10s. These have drain holes thru the sole, which is awesome, and they are reasonably comfortable. Downside is that these can accumulate some junk and they aren't as convenient on and off as other options. Can even wear with socks and they look like normal running shoes.

I wanted to like crocs, but they just felt horrible on my feet (flat feet - and I'm super picky).

Did a winner ever get determined?

I'll say one thing, I'm likin' these "Hey Dude" slip-on shoes they turned me onto. Man you can creep very silent in these things. They're super quiet!

I took the Amojis on my sheep hunt. Was a bit skeptical but they performed very well even walking for a few miles with pack through creek with multiple crossings. I was worried about losing them in fast water as they don’t have a heel strap but it was a non issue. Only complaint is they kept a bit of water in them did to design.

My ghetto Nike fly knit gym shoes with the cut off soles did awesome on my archery hunts this year. Used them way more than I thought, mostly when I needed to dry out my boots mid day I’d just throw them on. Zero complaints, and at 7oz/pair I didn’t even notice them in my pack
