Replacement ultralight camp shoes

[idig4au]

Typical, I went to go replace my Cushe M's backpack camp shoes that are falling apart and of course they are out of business and no longer available.

Any recommendation on a replacement similar to the Cushe M's that are lightweight?

The hounds I see people recommending on here might be okay, but I typically don't need a camp shoe for crossing rivers.

Thanks

Exped makes a camp shoe I haven't tried it personally though I have looked at them. I'm using hounds currently

Love my hounds. Dirt cheap, very lightweight, good cushion in sole, ventilated to air your feet out but not cold like flip flops, great after a long day of hiking.

Five fingers works for me. Come to think of it I'm not sure they still make them, but they work well.

I use sandals. Mostly want something easy on and off though.

I use Crocs. I’ve had the same pair for about 12 years now and need to replace them. I like the Crocs for creek crossings and backcountry wet wading for fishing. They’re good around camp and with the bar that you can slide behind your heel they stay on better for walking. There are lighter options out there, though. I’m going to explore different options before replacing mine.

I use these

Pros and cons to all

These are light full protection

Take a while to dry if you cross a river rhough

Hounds here as well.

For pure weight and a little protection around camp you won't beat these:

Fifteen Gram Blue Foam Flip-Flop Camp Shoe: – The Ultralight Hiker

I'm trying these this year and excited to lace up for stream crossings after losing a croc in fast current last year. I replaced their laces with real ones. They are 12 oz for the pair. I only paid $10 last year though:

Have used Crocs for a long time. Can't stand flip flops or anything with exposed toes. Going to look at some of the suggestions.

Nothinz are like crocs but lighter.

Pretty hard to beat the price and the wt. Mine weigh 8 oz.

I cut the backs off of mine so I could easily slip my feet in and out and also cut the top of the toes out for better venting.
These also double as a kick azz fire starter!

Hopefully you weren't wearing them when you found that out.

I’ve been using Walmart crocs for camp. Really cheap and much lighter than the real crocs, they weigh just slightly more tan air and are very comfy.

The exped camp slipper is really nice when you take your boots off at the end of the day. Way warmer than a flip flop or croc

If you find something lighter, but yet still as comfortable as these, and cost less than $10, please let me know.

I have been more than happy with my dawgs/hounds. Like said above, hard to beat cost and weight. I like them more than my crocs as I always seem to twist my ankle in crocs. I also prefer the full back protection on the hounds over crocs.

Have always wanted to try these vivo’s, but could never get myself to drop the coin and they have been difficult to find on a discount.

I believe I have seen syd run these on one of his threads.

Looking at the bottom of yours I’d say the pair I have might be lighter by an oz. lots of use around the house. They are Mexican slicks now. Time for another pair!
