The first year we went into Quetico we had the calf high LLBean boots and they killed our feet and we roasted in them so we have switched to sandals. From my experience TEVA has the best traction in water that exists as far as I know. I have just switched from the TEVA Universal Guide to the Chaco Z series sandal because the TEVAs where breaking down on me but I am still skeptical on the Chacos because I just loved that Spider Rubber on the Teva. I could jump on a wet rock with a loaded pack or 2 on and not worry about slipping and falling nearly like I have with the other foot wear options. I know Old Salt that you don't want sandals :D ;) but I am sharing this and it may be helpful if you go with on of TEVAs shoes. ;)
