Those are a little more expensive than Temu Crocs.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.
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.
My woman calls my Hey Dudes "Hey Dads" lolWalmart has knock off Hey Dudes that are super light and cheap. My buddy calls em Hi Guys.
He has every hole filled with the little charm Giblets....How the heck big are your feet that crocs are 20 ounces?
I have a hard time not going with "Bistro Clog" crocs. I like the ability to use them for water crossings and that most of the lightweight slipper type shoe options have holes in them and the Bistro clogs are closed toe and keep your socks free of plant debris and sand.
Additionally, the closed toe ones are MUCH warmer.
If I know the area and it’s just for camp use, then crocs or any lightweight version are great.
I know this is off topic but a long time ago I switched to light weight running shoes like Merrel and more recently “On” runners for this. They don’t dry as fast so not perfect for camp shoes, but Slip on style shoes like Crocs are terrible for tricky water crossings where you’re struggling in fast flowing water with river rocks rolling under your feet, or crossing silty, muddy stretches that’ll suck slip-ons off your feet constantly.
Lose your footing once and your crocs are probably gone.
So it’s been lightweight shoes for me that I can tie nice and tight on my feet and can also hike with them on trail if needed.
I’ve sheep hunted a lot in areas where there were multiple creek crossings in a row while hiking up valleys, and a good pair of lightweight shoes can be just left on and just keep moving in between crossings. Very hard to do with any kind of slip-on.
