On my first actual camping trip, 10 days at Isle Royale, I brought no camp shoes. Not only didn't I have camp shoes but I used my hiking boots as waders because I was not able to walk the banks to fish. They were brand new but one of the soles de-laminated and I had to keep it together with cable ties and parachute cord.  ;D. Ah, those were the days, great trip BTW, nice place, I want to get back.

Now I have camp shoes! Teva sandals actually. I think I'm going to replace them. The reasons are two fold. First they are open toed. I think a guy or gal could potentially lose a toenail. Unlikely perhaps but possible.

Secondly, I would like something sturdy enough to do portages with if push came to shove. I detest the thought but you never know. I'm thinking of going with these but before I do I have learned to run things by this community as I am often pleasantly surprised.

I like that they have an adjustable heel strap. You can really lock them in place if need be.

What say you?
