Ultralight Camp Shoe

[Jakeb]

I have a pair of dawgs slip in’s that are really light. They have a few different models.

I wanted a camp shoe that was secure enough to be able to ford streams with and Crocs didn’t check that box. Went with Arcteryx Novans- I think they were 12oz for the pair.

Think extreme light trail runners.

Those are a little more expensive than Temu Crocs.

Anyone try the slipper socks type like these?

If you don’t need to be able to hike/ford streams with these shoes, then it opens up a lot other options and less expensive options.

I use something very similar to this at work, not sure why it never crossed my mind to use them for hunting. I have crocs that I clip to my pack and don’t like them all that well, but they are cheap and light weight. The only issue I could see with these types of slip on’s is they take awhile to dry and they are not comfortable to walk over rocks with. I walk into the water with mine with minimal gear/weight on and the walk sucks until I am in water deep enough to take the weight/pressure off my feet. Its not unbearable by any means, but I also don’t have a pack on. Small rocks, gravel and sand is fine, its the larger round or sharper rocks that suck.

Walmart crocs are the way to go, half the price of the name brand. Can be used as camp shoes and for water crossings. Clip them on the outside of your pack, so no loss of room in your pack.
