Lightest camp shoe?

[Idahank]

Astral Loyaks - super flexible and grippy and great for staking or water crossings, only 8 ounces.

For Backpacking I go with the Xero Shoes - Z-Trek. They are pricy but durable and pack flat. I wear them for water crossings and as camp shoes, when its colder I simply put on a heavier merino sock to keep my feet warm. They are also sturdy enough to hike on trail with if you have a bunch of crossings planned in a row.

I run the walmart croc knock-offs for boating, beach, and yard work.

A Bougainvillea thorn will go thru, so I expect cactus would.

They dry out quick?

These shoes are fantastic for wet water wading. I use them trout fishing. They do dry out quick.

What is the most lightweight breathable camp shoe? Croc Literide?

A pair of heavy duty plastic bags over dry socks inserted back into wet shoes.

I struggle with mine when they are wet. My foot slides around on top of the shoe and no matter how tight I get the straps they don't feel secure. Did you do anything to yours to make them stay hooked to your foot?

I wear Gubba Silicone Overshoes in camp, just to keep my feet dirt free until I hop in the tent and air them out. They weigh next to nothing and roll up to the size of a cigar.

Foot condoms. Brilliant!

Do they run big? or small for size?

I'm a 12-13US and went with the XXL to be on the safe side. I'd recommend always sizing up just cause they are silicone and can be tricky to put on/off if you have damp feet.
